Pastime

So, Bobbie made a comment on matt's previous post in which he mentioned his favorite "pasttime": skiing. Bobbie pointed out that it's actually not a "pasttime" but a "passtime". Well, after some speedy internet research, I've discovered that you're both wrong, sadly. Skiing is actually a "pastime".

pastime

–noun
something that serves to make time pass agreeably; a pleasant
means of amusement, recreation, or sport: to play cards as a pastime.
[Origin: 1480–90; earlier pas(s)e tyme, trans. of MF passe-temps]

—Synonyms entertainment, hobby, diversion, avocation.

Just thought I'd clarify... :)
