If on the other hand someone said :
A : My favourite sport is skiing. What about you? Do you like it?
B: Yes, I quite like to ski though it's not my favourite sport by any means.

A's first utterance makes it clear that the conversation is about enjoyment - and so B's reply would probably be interpreted in that sense.
Hi susan,

Your above example made me think of a question as follows:

I don't know if the listener B skis or not, but I want to find out if he/she enjoys it. Is it OK to ask him/her a question like this below:

A: My favorite sport is skiing. What about you? Do you like to ski, too?/ Do you like skiing, too?
B: I don't know. I have never done it. But I would like to try if I have a chance.

Many thanks.
