You're trying to make a pun of 'suki'. One should have in mind that ski as 'ski' in english has a long 'i' at the end in japanese. Though I admit the word sound quite similar for a pun.
スキーが好き - I like ski. (sukii ga suki)
素敵なステーキ - a wonderful steak. (suteki-na suteeki).
Oh well, we have a special 'learning japanese' thread for such things.

Also, suki is an adjective. The verb for 'to like' would be 'konomu'.(好む, same kanji).
Note that if you're not mad about somebody/something you'll say 気に入る (ki ni iru). "I find it to my liking". It wouldnt imply affection while 'suki' would.
