Obviously we're all here because we're skiers, but lets face it, there are fun things to do to pass the time until ski season is comes back around.
What is it that keeps you from going stir crazy and/or keeps you fit in the off season?

I used up all the spots available so if you have an OTHER, then please post it.

*You can choose up to 5 activities*

Vol 2 has been posted here.

Road bike riding (put into poll). A little running, inline skating nordic-style with long poles, and weight training.

Sailing. I used to do it very actively and competitively when I was at university. Since I have had a full-time job, however, I sail less. And hardly any regattas anymore. By choice. I have become lazy in that sense.

rock climbing- both indoors and outdoors.

Maybe we should turn the baseball/softball selection to team sports??

You're right, we missed rock climbing. Dang it! But....we are only allowed to post 10 choices :(

I told my boy and his teammate that if they want to get ready for slalom they need to start boxing workouts on punching bag.

There are a number of musicians and musician wannabes on site.
I've seen a number of people posting roller skating/skateboarding pics and stories.
Maybe there's a category for them too?

Does binging NetFlix, youtube, etc count?

I knew there'd be things that I couldn't fit on the list.
Also camping is not on the list.
Maybe a second poll thread for the missed items.
