So I was trying to go to bed while thinking of skiing and then this question poped into my head...
"Did the professional skiers of today play any of the sports I play now?"
Ex: soccer, basketball, football, and so on and so on.

(PS I did try to search for this already)

Discuss!

i think colby west played a handful of sports before he started skiing competitively.  I know that he said he played soccer in a Freeskier interview.

i forget what show it was but they brought some of the best athletes from different sports to compete against eachother and the skiers did the best overall in the different sports. just shows skiers are just natural athletes

Candide Thovex is the sickest skater!! He can slay a mini ramp better then anyone I've ever seen, I would put money that he is the best mini ramp skater out of any skier... I think a lot of pros played soccer...

One of my mates plays in the state comp of Australian Rules Football and part of his contract is that he is not allowed to snow/water ski or any other recreational activity without clearance from the club.

And the club would never let him... So his skiing days are over :(

(hmm cant edit)

- so i think it would be the other way around with pro skiers not allowed to play sports that could cause an injury... sad, but smart from a company POV

Skogen Sprang was on the Dallas Cowboys in the early 90s. He started as a tight end but retired as a wide receiver.

Mike Nick was a professional gymnast; he won 18 Olympic gold medals for balance beam. And also, the beam was actually a huge black cock.
