As this poster notes, you can ski pretty well in a skirt.
In reality, it looks more like Ar in this picture:

Climb in Elephant Rock State Park
You can climb giant boulders in Elephant Rock State Park in a skirt.
Escape from Zombies
I did the Walking Dead zombie run in Philadelphia earlier this year. In a skirt. While I was unable to find a single photo of me running the course, even after clicking through every one of the 9,000 unsorted photographs they posted, I do have these posed shots. You’ll just have to trust me that my skirt hurdled the course with style.
Ride a Bull
This is my friend D right before taking a spin on a bull. Below is the during picture. Skirts are actually better than pants for riding bulls. You can get a better grip on the bull with your legs. (Shorts do the job too, but with less style.)
Climb a Fourteener
Fourteeners are mountains with peaks above 14,000 feet. There are 88 fourteeners in the USA, and some people try to peak them all.
Other people try to peak them all in a skirt.
This is my friend Ar, heading up Grays Peak, the highest peak in the Continental Divide, at 14,278 feet.
You’ll note she did it in a skirt.
Snowshoing
You can strap on awkward huge shoes and flump your way across the heights of the Colorado Rockies in a skirt.
You can also pause to enjoy the view and a bottle of Leffe. Aaaah…
Whoohoo!
Skirts make you happy.
Bouldering
This is my friend Sh, an avid rock climber. If it’s there, she will climb it like Spider Man. And she has no trouble doing it in a skirt.
Skirting tip: Stretch is what you need in this case, not fabric.
Riding a Horse
This is my friend S, back when she spent her summers wrangling horses. You can absolutely ride a horse in a skirt. But you do need a skirt with an inordinate amount of fabric in it.
