Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Skiing may cause nasal mucosa dryness which may lead to bleeding.
So use face mask , use humidifier in home, if bleeding is severe use nasal compression and packing. If symptoms not improved please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
