Answer:
My nostril piercing doesn't bother me at all when I'm sick… Well, wiping your nose does become slightly more awkward with a ring in.

I do martial arts (which I realize is very different from skiing, but they're both physical activities) and it never really gets bumped or snagged or anything… And that's with a cbr in.

When it comes to jewelry, a ring sticks out more so it is more at risk for being bumped, but a stud is easier to get stuck on things such as hair (yours or someone else's >=/).

Just make sure you get it pierced with a hollowed out needle by someone professional and reputable, and do sea salt soaks.

Answer:
If you get a small stud, nothing should be a problem. I've had mine for 5.5 years. Go for it.
