Andrew: Hmmm... depends on your strengths/weaknesses. Skiing is very low impact (unless you crash!) on your bones. That's a bonus. On the other hand if you're not used to it, it can be pretty demanding on your muscles. You pretty much use every muscle in your body (I'm not joking), so if you are particularly weak somewhere that's where the pain will hit.

For skating (which I've only just started and haven't quite got the technique for yet) my inner thighs take the brunt.
