I love to waterski, slalom, tricks and wakeboarding.
I wish I had time for softball and soccer, but with 3 kids in sports, kind of takes up all the time!
I also love to in-line skate.
On a more domestic side, I also love to cook and bake, knit and read!
I've dabbled in cake-decorating and would love to pursue this more. I would also love to do art-doll sculpting, but again, time is scarce:(
Oh, I'd also like to try wind-surfing and around the lake.

My hubby and I love the Hike the White Mountains of NH. We go from spring to fall and even snow shoe in the winter. We love to:
Hike
Camp
Mt. Bike
Kayak
A little bit of rock climbing at a rock gym(although not in years)
Travel (we went to Colombia ... you know in S. America ... last summer for a wedding...:D )
And very important to us: Play VIDEO GAMES :ROTF:

Rock climbing and skiing are why we moved to Colorado!
And you gotta love that we've even been able to do both in the same weekend!
We're also planning to tic off hiking/climbing some 14ers this summer, as well as spend more time on the mountain bikes that are gathering dust in the garage.
There's just not enough time to play!!!:Cry:

Please tell me you Wii? I've now become a Wii'er. It's sad.
But other than that, I also love to ride my bike in warmer weather. Those in the NY/NJ area might know of the NYC 5-Boro Bike Tour happening 1st Sunday in May. I'm already signed up. 4th year for me, and it's an absolute blast. I'm really looking forward to it!
I also love traveling. Hand me my passport and I'll go anywhere my frequent flyer miles will take me! Now, if I only had a traveling partner... hehehe
I also like to play "computer geek" in my spare time, and I'm learning Linux on my home computer. This is including some minor programming, which is fun.
Another activity resurfacing - gardening. Have spent many hours the past few days planting seeds in flats. I love how those little tiny things in dirt grow into big pretty or fruitful plants! If the snow is going to disappear, might as well be ready, tho we get as much as we can out of the season!

Make sure you're prepared for the 14'er! My first 14'er....I climbed very stupidly with a little water bottle and some crackers....Made it up ok, but the whole way down I was throwing up! Dehydration central!
Beautiful view, though! :D

Good advice!! I'm a firm believer in Camelbacks and the like!!!

Mountain Biking
Hiking
Backpacking
Swimming
Beach Laying
Kayaking
Puddle Jumping
.
Pretty much anything as long as I can be outside.... Who is excited for the riding season?

Yeah... I own an Xbox 360 Elite... It happens to the best of us. I hadn't played a video game in 14 years since my Atari 2600 when I was a kid, then I started dating my current BF and well, if you can't beat 'em... join 'em! <and yes, it's fun!> I'm a huge Tomb Raider fan....
I'd rather be outside though! I'm in the market for a new bike this spring, something good for the road. We usually ride around the city and down in the metroparks. I'm still using my ancient Schwinn woodlands bike <15 years old>.... yeah, its time. I hold on to things for so long!!!

I Scuba dive, been doing it for about twenty years now. Mostly all over the UK, the water is cold but the marine life is great because of the gulf stream.
I'm just getting ready for the trip of a lifetime, going to dive the Galapagos, and then go on to Macchu Picchu and the Inca trail. The extra bonus is meeting up with my best friend that I haven't seen in the 3 years since I left Blighty!

My hubby and I start mountain biking when the snow season is over....we usually go up to Tahoe area because there are a gazillion places to bike around the lake, all beautiful. And we go up to the 8200 ft. elevation at Squaw Valley, right where we ski (!!!) and hike around from time to time. We also go to the Calif. coastline on biking trips, mostly up to either Mendocino or Monterey areas where there are bike trails right along the ocean. And we ramp up our time in the gym lifting weights etc. since we aren't skiing for this part of the year.

Another thread I hadn't read or replied to...
I like to:
- hike
- climb
- swim
- kayak (used to compete, but now I only to it a couple of times a year since I have no storage space for a kayak :mad: , so I have to borrow one from my folks when I visit them)
- cook and bake
- my computer (i'm a geek)
Tried windsurfing last year. I really liked it, but again I have no storage space for it. Also like to bike, but my hay fever is really bad, and I have to avoid biking in the summer.
At work, since I'm working on a boat and not much we can do there except work for 12 hours and sleep:
I read a lot, watch TV and movies, knit and try to use the gym now and then. The knitting and some of the reading are being done while on duty

For outdoors activities I enjoy road biking and running. Mr. Skiso and I love to day-hike, especially along a beach somewhere or in Mt Rainier National Park, and our favorite summer city sport is swimming in the local outdoor (saltwater) 50-meter pool when it's cold & raining and we have the pool almost to ourselves.
) Still, I think it's important to never say never...

I spend my free time (summer and winter) trail riding and training on the Bodacious miss Bunny (10 yrs), along with my old boy's Flashy Pant's (26yrs), and the amazing Mr. Fred (25yrs) ! Although this year we have been very lazy and spent more time trail riding than in the arena.,( Flashy and Fred are strictly light trail)! In the summer I also teach inline skating, and intro to kayak lessons (wet exits and returns, bracing, paddle strokes nothing to get all that excited over). Hiking with my dogs and riding my bike. Oh I almost forgot about my gardening!
