Close, though not exactly: Skate Skiing.

The wiki article doesn't mention it, but it was definitely a source of contention in World Cup and Olympic competition in the 70s & 80s, until eventually everyone agreed that you'd have separate "classic" and "freestyle" events. My source is that I skiied competitively in the 80s.
