Just curious to see how many other ns'ers participate in any other sports. Or is skiing either competitively or recreationally your only sport? Personally, I play lacrosse year round and recently gave up basketball to ski more.

I play searchable competitively, I'm in my nation's top five, highest finish at the European championships was a bronze medal one year ago.
During the summer I also partake in Google website search comps. But those are not my forté.

Depending on your definition of "sport" this may be considered a hobby. But during the summer months I Drag race.

When I was in High School I played Football and Track & Field. I also have played basketball and baseball competitively and I wrestled for a couple of years.

Now I just ski for leisure and hike as much as I can.

Champion knob gobbler.

But actually I was recruited to play d1 tennis, chose club volleyball instead. And I play a mean game of hockey despite how terrible I am on skates, stickhandling skills are prime.

Pretty much everything but only did soccer, basketball, baseball, cross country, diving/swimming for team sports.

IF we go outside of that the list would be huge as I would think most peoples would be.

Golf, this past summer I got into road biking, baseball, and the occasional game of tennis.

I have a lot of hobbies but not competitive like wakeboarding, hunting, fishing, etc.

The most competetive sport I play is soccer year round. Used to play hockey. You can still catch me at the local rink all the time though. I used to play baseball but fuck that.

I am competed in the Google website search comp last year. It was rough, I got booted in round one when they asked me to find examples of different people asking the same question on forums. Its tough man. You better practice leading up to the comp.

League of Legends... E-sports are still sports.

But I golf and used to play hockey until this year, apparently goalie pads have gotten a lot more expensive since the last time I've bought them and fuck paying thousands of dollars for a weekend activity.

Dude I'm 6'3 and I was able to find pads for 300 ish bucks (35+2 Reebok 9000). I just play beer leagues, so I don't need top of the line equipment but you can get decent stuff on a budget.

I guess I do a few. Mountain bike, road bike, swim, run, motorcycle, squash, golf, hike, climb, ultimate, and as a bit of a hybrid thing I am currently training for an OL triathlon. I guess my cardio is fairly covered, if only I lifted weights so I could actually build an upper body.

I outgrew just about every piece besides my helmet and with the time I would spend playing, I'd much rather just put that money towards ski trips. I plan on coaching again as soon as I'm out of college though, I'm not ready to completely give up the sport quite yet.

Haha, fair enough. I played when I was young and then took an 8 year break. Had some buds sign me up for their team and forced me to buy all my gear again lol. Fortunately they had some hookups and I got a bunch of free (though used) equipment. Now on my third season back and am loving it again. Definitely an expensive sport though.

I played D3 football and golf for Bates College and also club lacrosse. Golf is definitely the best college sport you can play. Going from miserable football practices to playing 9 holes after class everyday was amazing.

Golfing is a big one, also pole vaulting. I dabble into tennis, mountain biking, and rock climbing.

If you ever get the chance to pole vault, DO IT.
