Life does'nt leave me as much time as it used to for my hobbies but I like to Ski And Soar ( fly Gliders )
I have around 800hrs , had many cool experiences and a few scares . The sky is like a giant lava lite landscape, air movement can lift a Sailplane over 1000'ft pre minute up in rising air currents , also air flow over mountain ranges can set up a standing wave that can be "surfed " tens of thousands of feet upward.When you see a lenticular cloud ,like the one over Wildcat on Saturday.
That indicates the presence of a Wave.
Spring is best for my highest altitudes over the years , cool air warn sunshine .Fall when Hawks migrate is cool , as your circling in a thermal they spot you and fly over and join in , sometimes you may see dozens all around.We have a Bald Eagle living not too far from the airport ,Flew in a thermal 30' away and gained 3000'ft with him.

Not my vid but this is what Wildcat looks like from above riding Wave

Mostly kayaking, mountain/road biking and skiing. Other casual sports that I play occasionally are tennis and basketball. This year I'm planning to add rock climbing and surfing to my list.

hiking

Welp since moving south I'm about to pick up paddelboarding and more biking. I still love running too, and swimming. I'm also tempted to get into scuba diving. and i bought a new paraglider last year but am still waiting on getting a motor for it, hopefully soon. maybe tax return season.

Cool. Surface conditions are wet and sandy.

Hiking and skiing

 

[SophieWaggner83]

definitely skiing - incredible emotions, drive and cool scenery. I just adore it.
But I also like to skate, somewhere in the cities or on local lakes. It's a completely different emotion, but I also really like it

 

[Snowfall_Zonie]

Hiking, Tubing, Road Biking. I want to try paddleboarding and kayaking. It looks like lots of fun!

 

[dblskifanatic]

Winter is very focused - skiing and some hiking.

Summer I have ADD and cannot focus on one thing so - Hiking, Mountain Biking, Tennis, Paddle Boarding, Kayaking, golfing, half boarding (AKA boggie boarding) and lastly cornhole with beer drinking. Bold is more common others are more occasional

In the 1960s I started golfing at age ten and alpine skiing at age 13. I still enjoy both of these life long outdoor sports very much.

I've dabbled in many sports, but the other big ones for me:
In my youth - fairly serious distance running (6 miles: 30 minutes flat, 2 miles: 9:15)
20s to early middle age: organized leagues in softball and volleyball
middle age to old age: bicycling, swimming, hiking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, all rather casually

This site seems to cater towards skiers the most but obviously it is full of all varieties of mountain and outdoor athletes. I'm curious if the users of AZ are all around outdoor athletes. What outdoor sports do you participate in?

I : hike/backpack, snowshoe, XC ski, Downhill ski, Mt bike, road bike, kayak

I probably skied seriously before the others but I would say my main outdoor sport is hiking and backpacking. I have hiked most areas of the northeast including an AT thru hike and have been many areas in the west. I used to race MTB occasionally but only casually ride now. I used to road ride a lot until I moved to Maine and am two dirt roads away from a paved road. I XC ski more than I downhill but still love to hit the slopes, price is my primary barrier to more days downhill. Depending on the water situation, I get in a dozen or so days kayaking flat and moving water.

Hi there,

It's great to hear about your passion for outdoor activities! It seems like you have a rich experience in various sports, from hiking and backpacking to skiing and biking. Each sport offers its unique challenges and joys, and it's impressive that you've embraced so many of them.

Like you, many outdoor enthusiasts enjoy a range of activities. Whether it's the tranquility of kayaking or the adrenaline of downhill skiing, there's something for everyone. And as you continue to explore the great outdoors, staying informed about safety and security is crucial. The RSA Conference 2024 is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest in security, which is essential for everyone, especially those who enjoy the freedom of outdoor sports.

Keep enjoying your adventures, and maybe we'll see you on the trails or at the RSA Conference!
