Skiing on Shabbat
Question
Is it permissible to cross country ski on Shabbat if there is an Eruv?
Answer
I can't see the reasons to prohibit skiing different to the reasons to prohibit bike riding (which is accepted by all):
1. Uvdin DeChol – weekday activity that doesn't meet the spirit of Shabbat.
2. One might exit the borders of Shabbat accidentally.
3. If brakes, one will be tempted to fix it.
