Hey guys i am planning on buying a rebel XTI, body only and i was wondering what was a good lens for general use and some MTB and skiing shots, i am relatively new to photography especially to additional lenses so any advice would be appreciated,

i would rather not have this thread be a debate over canon and nikon so please try to avoid this
thanks in advance

You could definitely get the lens that basically every action sports photog has, the 70-200L F2.8. The 10-22mm would come in handy for super wide angle shots

either the 50mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.4 from canon are sure bets, the later being more expensive but results show

the sigma 70-200 2.8 is supposedly an outstanding lens.

the 50mm 1.8 is just an easy way to get started for $60-80
