I doubt she was skiing in Summer (unless her parents decided a trip 
to the Australian snow fields was a good idea). She was supposed to 
go skiing over christmas but came back when Arthur was attacked (or 
was bad at skiing and couldn't cope with failure).  

I can only assume that when Dumbledore reformed the Order and the 
Weasleys went to stay at Grimmauld place Hermione asked to go and 
help.
