Top 5 Winter Sports
When cold weather hits, do you run to the rink, scurry to the slopes or hibernate--on the couch with a nice cup of cocoa? For kids in the Southern Sunbelt, it's none of the above. But where there are flakes and frost, Americans 18 and under are out enjoying these sports:
1. Ice/figure skating: 3.7 million participants
2. Downhill skiing: 2.6 million
3. Ice hockey: 1.2 million
4. Snowboarding: 1.1 million
5. Cross-country skiing: 678,000
