Take her canoeing somewhere relatively private. At some point let the canoe drift while you pull the ring out of the ice chest you’ve brought. Be careful about going down on one knee, you might capsize!

On your next skiing trip, write out your proposal in the snow with ski poles.

Bike somewhere remote and romantic for a picnic. Have the ring wrapped in her napkin, so, when she unrolls, it the ring will fall out. This will give you the perfect opportunity to go down on one knee to pick it up and propose!

Ring is at the bottom of a hole (preferably the 18th), so it’s there when she sinks her last putt. Bonus – get your proposal written on the flag! Check with the Head Pro of the course first, of course!

Write up a sports "contract" with a no-trade clause in it.

Does she swim? Put the ring in a watertight case and weight it so it will stay at the bottom of a pool. Be sure to put it there just before she dives in so your proposal goes to the right swimmer!

Stage the end of a reality show like The Bachelor (enlist some of her girlfriends to play along). This should be at a gathering that includes several people. One of your friends should play the host and gather the women together at a certain point. Everyone will be in on the set-up except your fiancée-to-be. When all the women are grouped together, call out your bride-to-be, give here a rose and the ruing, drop to your knee and propose!
