for strength, swimming but for skiing, running. running better prepares for impacts which skiing has much of.

as with the previous two knuckleheads,swimming, Nothing is better at getting you rip/torn/cut to fuck. Still living off the muscle I gained from it freshmen year in high school...6 years ago
You'll need a pretty strict regiment for it to work best tho. Join your swim team if you're still in high school.

its just like running except you use youre entire body all the time and you cant breathe.
You got it backwards. Run then swim.

Runners are mislead fools.
It may seem like a good way to stay in shape, but your knees take a hell of a beating.
Save them fer skiin.
Go Swim.

running will help with the cardio aspect, but swimming will make your body stronger overall, and running is pretty hard on your knees

you will never get big doing either.
Swimming is the best pure all body workout, though there is a a risk of overuse injuries - knee and shoulder
running is a better cardio workout but doesnt do shit for upperbody. it does help keep/gain your "bounce" though, but it can be hard on your knees and has a high risk for overuse injuries.

Are you trying to lose weight or build cardiovascular endurance? If you're just trying to lose weight, cut calories and lift. Fuck running.

this is the only thing you have ever said that i have agreed with
OP, if you want to prepare for skiing, you want to lift lots of weight
go read up on how squats enhance your vertical leap, and improve all around leg usability
i do a 5x5 sl plan for this express purpose
now, if you want to do something cardio heavy, this is still an option, but you might need to tailor any of these plans for you
/fit/ and /r/fitness can help you

Swim daily for sure if you can. Don't quit other workouts, though. If you can mix up your workout, you will have better results.

Swimming and nordic skiing are the best full body cardio workouts that you can do. Swimming will help you look more built, but running is a whole lot less work.

I just got back from swimming a mile. Swimming is definitely the way to go if you have to choose between the two. Swimming is essentially a resistance exercise while running can hurt your body. Running, especially on pavement, is very abusive to one's body. Swimming is a whole body workout and feels great.
