Burn calories with skiing, snowboarding and other snow sports

Skiing, snowboarding and other human propelled snow sports are calorie burners. How many depend on weight (heavier people burn more calories per hour), how fast you're moving, terrain contours, and other factors. The figures below are for an hour of continuous activity (not waiting in a lift line). Being active during the winter burns a lot more calories than sitting inside playing video games. Here's how snow sports can help burn 'em.
