Avid skiers, what are your other hobbies or interests?

[Louieee]

Skiing is the only activity I enjoy, I wake boarded as teenager until I discovered skiing, but never been as keen on watersports. I tried biking but it's only fun.. downhill.. in the mountains... with chairlifts to take you up!

If skiing is your first love but you live in a city or somewhere with no easy access to the slopes, what other activities do you enjoy, for inspiration?

Snowboarding is my first love but I also enjoy SUP, tennis and netball. Like a bit of mountain biking too. Have tried surfing as well but I'm not that strong a swimmer so got too much fear!

Eventing (equestrian sport). Have two horses with a third on the way (mare is in foal).

We are moving to the foot of the mountains in the next 3-5 years so we can do horse and snow sports all year round! Nothing compares with snow sports and horses! (Rugby, SUP, football, hockey - all ok - in fact I played rugby to county level for 12 years and made great friends through it - but nothing beats the mountains so we are moving to them!)

Badminton, walking and swimming.

Photography, dressmaking, walking, learning and speaking a second language.

Learning a language, crochet and reading are my sedate ones.

Cycling, though I like distance rides along country roads and paths. I have an urban mountain bike (if that makes sense) so it can hold its own off road but I'm not convinced I should be throwing it down any mountains. My children are 8 and 10 so we generally go for a local pootle.

I also like running and going to the gym but have been very slack of late.

We've just taken out annual membership to the local dry slope though, so skiing remains the favoured family activity.

Work, running - so I can ski. Reading.

French, reading, writing and sleeping

Horse riding, ice skating and rollerski.

Not karate?

Road cycling

Running

Training to ski better 😬

Seriously though 😀 I ski on my local dry slope regularly and work on technique and meet up with other skiers

Hiking, ice skating. In the summer, swimming in lakes and the sea. Trampolining. Nothing comes close to skiing!

Climbing. Makes for year-round mountaineering :)

SUP boarding and swimming

Not a skier but I enjoy climbing. Lots of the people I meet at the wall also enjoy skiiing.

Not karate?

Not for a long time! But I'm attached to the nickname so there you go!

I did flirt with going back after lockdown, but couldn't find a local dojo that did shukokai style.

Mountain biking - kind of like skiing, especially if you get into downhill biking - except there's not usually an lift to take you back up so its harder :D

Mountain biking - but with a full suspension e-bike! That way the uphills are easy. 😊🚵
