I've thought skiing looked like something that would be painful. I know water skiing is. I water skied the last time about 5 years ago, and decided that was the last time...whew. A lot worse then riding.

I tried and once and failed to water ski :~D
I snow skied all through high school and college, not much since. I'd be an injury waiting to happen if I tried again now, I think :~D
