The reason Muslims tend not to go skiing is because they mostly don't live in the mountains and are mostly low income, meaning that a day trip skiiing is both prohibitively expensive (like 200+ CHFs for just for day passes for a family of four, plus food, plus gear and so on...) and a logistical nightmare if you don't have a car (like a train then two busses). Unless you live within 20 minutes of a resort, skiing is an activity for the wealthy only, even if you live in Zurich or Vienna.
Also, it is possible to adopt the culture of a society you are immigrating to at the same time as maintaining your own culture, which is what a lot of people actually do.
