Maybe: The risks of engaging in high impact activities following joint replacements are wear, dislocation, and fractures. However, if you were a good skier before the surgery, chances are that you can get back to doing it at a recreational level. But, if skiing is not that important to you, then you should look for activities which are not high impact and do not have significant fall risks.

Possibly: If you were a skilled skier before your hip replacement, you should be able to return to that activity after 3-4 months. You should stay within your ability and not get overly aggressive. A severe fall could lead to a hip dislocation or fracture around the prosthesis.
