No to all. I don't want anything to do with cold, snow, ice, etc.

We used to go sledding and roller skate as a kid. Also when the ponds near our house froze over we would go sliding on the ice with just our boots on. We did not have ice skates. I wouldn't do any of them now.
I love cross country skiing. I did ice skating as a kid but I don't anymore.

Did sledding as a kid. I took ice skating lessons and still love to ice skate though I don't do it often. I've been downhill skiing two or three times, but not since my teen years. I had fun and would do it again.
I've never been snowboarding, snowmobiling or cross country skiing.

I'm disabled, so I can't do any of those things.
I like sledding! We don’t really have proper sledding hills here though. The last time I went DH and I were engaged and it snowed at his moms for Christmas so they borrowed a sled from the neighbors.
Most of my cousins took figure skating lessons as kids or played hockey. I never got into it. I could skate a little but I haven’t tried in a loooong time. We do have one rink but my kids would need someone else to teach them because I’m not really interested. Skiing isn’t my thing either. I’ll stick with sledding.
My dad is a big snowmobiler but I’ve only been on one maybe twice that I remember. We don’t really have snow for that here either. He can go up into the mountains.

In the summer, I rollerskate with my quads. I tried iceskating last winter to see if it was the same and I hated it. Ice is hard and trying to move around on a thin blade isn't fun. I prefer my rollerskates.

The only things in the ice or snow I’ve done is sledding by and ice skating, and I haven’t done any of those in years.
I grew up playing ice hockey with a childhood friend (I was a goalie, so less skating than normal). I also used to snowboard and ski, until I was cut off by a kid who crossed my skis, causing me to get thrown into a chair lift pole, destroying my kneecap.
*Sigh* those were the days. But winter is my favorite season, so I say bring on the snow!

Ice skated a few times. Enjoyed it lots! Going fast is fun! That was many years ago and I would not try it now.
Spent a winter in New Hampshire and had my own skis, at least until I broke them across my face at Suicide Six in Vermont.

I wiped out on my first run down at Steamboat Springs years ago and my body was so bruisedI grew up playing ice hockey with a childhood friend (I was a goalie, so less skating than normal). I also used to snowboard and ski, until I was cut off by a kid who crossed my skis, causing me to get thrown into a chair lift pole, destroying my kneecap.

and sore I couldn't ski the entire time we were there. Had an amazing time snowmobiling in Root
National forest. We had 2 guides and were very close to Wyoming. That's what they mean when
someone says pristine. So the whole trip wasn't a bust.
Is your knee ok now?
For the most part. Can't do many of the things I used to, but I put myself through a lot of strength training so I could finally walk without a brace again.

But you climbed that mountain, Sis. That counts!! Didn't a bird poop on your head? tee, hee
Yes, I climbed Snowden years ago and out of the hundreds of people climbing the mountain, the seagull chose my head to poop on. I'm so lucky.
