Difficult question: Depending how bad your osteoporosis is any excessive trauma can increase you risk for fracture. My best answer is be careful.

Wouldn't.: Skiing is pretty rough on the body. I'd be concerned that if someone with Osteoporosis went skiing and fell, some bone would surely break. Wouldn't take the chance.
