Use your brains

There is a common English word that is seven letters long.
Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains a common English word - from seven letters right on down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing a letter at a time?

    “a” is not a word. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains a common English word.
    It doesn’t have to be removing the letters inorder. kapish!

    Snowing, Sowing, Swing, Sing, Sin, In, I
