You don't need to absolutely love skiing as your favorite sport to be a member of NS, so just out of curiosity, how many people like participating in other sports more than skiing, such as baseball or basketball?

Skiing is the only sport i've done my entire life.  I honestly can't say I've been doing anything else for 16 years.

Skiing is to me more like e feeling I can’t live without, it gets under your skin like a drug or a disease. I don’t compete, I just push my own limits, challenge my own rules. Most of the time I’m doing endurance sports like adventure races, inline skate marathons, triathlons, mountain bike and bike races ect – I love this, I got sponsors and train hard. But when that snow comes it’s like a love story all over again. My wife skis and we invested in a cabin in the mountains, so this is a thing I (we) will do the rest of our lives – my son is 1 year old and I’m looking forward to skiing with him.

^ you know I want to take this time to go off the thread subject and say something ive noticed for all the 7 - 8 years ive been on this site: the age of the audience. I am hearing replies from more and more people with kids and that is SO AWESOME. 30 or 13, it is great to see more and more older people on here. The passion of skiing does not end at 21 and I think a lot of people that are 15 dont realize that. I am now 25 years old and  I can honestly say I proud to see an older crowd becoming more and more popular on newschoolers. Some people say this site is turning to shit and I strongly disagree because it is getting older and more mature. Keep the mature audience coming. Thanks guys.

skiing is my favorite sport, easy.

soccer comes second, but i dont play cause it would take to much time of skiing.

Combining my 2 favorites is better than one. So my favorite sport is ski BASE. Even though I haven't done that yet. Need more BASE jumps before I try this one somewhere

to do: skiing by far
to watch: its close between hockey and skiing, but i think hockey might take it, well only Canucks and Team Canada games really, but as soon as the playoffs start i kinda forget about skiing for that time, its all hockey in my house

I don't consider skiing to be 100% a sport, so Basketball wins.

Mountain Biking is my fav sport with skiing close second. I am about 10 times better at biking though than skiing and have sort of started to go places with biking so obviously its my #1.

In the spring and fall, I like skiing and mountain biking equally. In the summer, I like MTB more, in the winter, I like skiing more. But, should the opportunity arise to participate in either sport out-of-season, ie. skiing hood in the summer, then that sport becomes #1 until it is once more inaccessable.

Given the choice, I would rather ski than MTB, but after a while, it would flip-flop the other way for a bit.

Skiing is basically my life.  I don't follow any other sports or do any other sports besides skiing and to an extent free running and mountain biking.
I do wanna start long boarding though.
