What are some good Winter sports?

[Atom Smasher]

I'm looking to try to get involved with a sport or two this Winter, but a complication I have is that that I was in a car accident a couple years ago and my lower spine now has bone-against-bone in two vertebrae, so I have to be a little selective.

But putting the back aside, what are some good Winter sports to get involved in? I'm thinking in terms of somewhat organized team sports as opposed to finding a reliable partner for raquetball, which is very difficult to find.

Thanks.

IMO most winter sports tend not to team oriented like you want, like skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and etc. You could still go with your friends as a lot of people do, but it just won't be a team sport.

Hockey (ice, floor, roller, field), Basketball, Volleyball, Indoor Soccer, Bowling, Water Polo, Indoor Football, Indoor Lacross...

Basketball at the Y dude.

And handball is good all year long. You should know that if you're from the East Coast!

In all seriousness, figure skating. That may be an issue because of your spine, but it's like ballroom dancing ramped up a notch. It's great for posture, balance, and learning how to control your body.

Ice climbing. Another very fun sport you have to do with other people, but the options may be limited depending on where you live. There is some cost associated with getting involved in this.

Cross country skiing

Bodsledding. There are people who do this at my college, and some chutes relatively close by. May not be practical.

Snowmobiling

Any type of skying/snowboarding slalom racing.

Ice fishing

Snow rugby

And please don't forget, snowball fights!!
