You can have ski trip recruitment drives, or you can advertise your services in a church. You don't have to go out of your way and be so serious about it--just invite some like-minded people to go skiing with you.
And for god's sake avoid any Jesus/ski analogies. Oh, and please don't proselytize to those who have no interest.

There are many ways...i.e., wearing a cross or a simple bumper sticker.
Our lifestyle is another that will speak volumes over what we can say.
Ask the Lord to guide you and to use you...you'll be amazed when you listen to the Holy Spirit and the leading He will put in your heart. You will know what to do and what to say when the time is right.
May all the glory be given to the living God, through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Peace and grace to you!

You exemplify Christ. You treat your fellow man with brotherly love, and use what ever opportunities they provide you to witness to them.
Many of the rich and famous take ski vacations and many do not know Christ, they have been too busy earning the money to keep up their lavish lifestyle.
Who knows when you may lead a really rich person to Christ and be rewarded monetarily for it. That has happened before, they do know how to show gratitude.

Working with inner city kids who never get a chance to do stuff like that. Sharing your gift with those who would not otherwise be able to enjoy it is ministry for God. Loving and sharing,befriending and being able to not only talk to others about your faith and what God has done for you but to actually show it to them in a personal way.

The way you live your life is your ministry.

Maybe as an occasional fellowship group activity.
