* I'd think that skiing is pretty good for core strength. Lots of full body "movements." What muscle groups would you work out on Monday after a weekend of skiing? Or groups you would stay away from? (I'd think legs is a clear avoid).

Thanks.

If that's the case, it would seem that I burned off a beer every hour of skiing. Probably a wash although the dehydration factor was big...definitely was too busy skiing and not drinking enough water.

Curious...how does an hour of skiing compare to your average intense 45-60 minute workout in the gym? More or less equal?
