Thank you for your answer, but I'm still a little bit unsure: Do you mean that all possibilities are correct or do you mean the words are used with different phenomena, such as "in" in positive sentences, "with" in negative sentences, "of" in quesitons?

This is always a huge problem. English learners want rules for prepositions. Sometimes there are rules for certain verbs in certain grammatical situations. Many times it's just "we say this; we don't say that." Prepositions are horrible!

We would not say, I've had no experience of skiing, or I've had experience of skiing.

We would say, I've had the experience of skiing. I've never had the experience of skiing.

We're always happy to tell you if a particular sentence works, and if not, how you can "fix" it.

The other day, I had an experience with skiing which I will never forget!
