OK, I'll bite: besides skiing, among other interests, I play old-tyme
banjo (frailing/clawhammer), and have for much longer than I've skied.

I've only started skiing this season (love it!), so I suppose I'm not
even qualified to answer this, but here's the abbreviated list:

-Road Cycling (I'm sure this is one of the most common off-season
activities, short of perhaps rollerskiing)
-Ultimate Frisbee
-Running, when I can make myself
-Enjoying good beer
-Reading, working, socializing, fixing up the house, and the millions of
other things that keep me away from the first five ;-)

OK, here goes:

- I have two kids, 14 & 12. Those of you who are parents know what this
means. :-)

- Orienteering
- Rock climbing
- Group Leader of the Lilleaker Scout group
- Computers & digital photography, esp panoramas and high-res mosaics.
- Windsurfing on a small board when conditions are right (You know, gale
force & up. :-)
- I read quite a lot (50-100 english books/year)

Previously I've been into diving & gymnastics, volleyball (at 171 cm I
had to be the setter :-(), white water kayak, swimming & ham radio (I'm
la8nw).

The main/only problem is the one eloquently told by Piet Hein ("Kumbel")
in one of his Grooks:

T.T.T
Put up in a place
where it's easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T.T.T.
When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb,
it's well to remember that
Things Take Time.

There is so much in life than skiing...
OK... What is it then?


Classical guitar (in the "Serenade" flute-guitar duo with my wife,
who is also a skier, albeit a slow one)

Road cycling (club rides 2 times weekly, races about 2 annually)

Speedskating inline (7 50K races during season)

Skiing (about 4-5 local races and every other weekend during snow)

Rollerskiing (2 times weekly in winter)

Kayaking (have a touring double, looking for a racing kayak now)

Skiing was the first aerobic (mostly) sport, besides hiking up mountains,
which I took up. That led to running and cycling. Also do flat water
canoeing, skating (mostly hockey), and bread baking. Reading RSN takes up
much of my time as well :-).
