I have to admit I believe that a lot of people who skied when they where young stop for various reasons as they get older.
As a group, the median age is somewhere in the 30's, depending how you count. Median statistics can be deceptive in this scenario. Many people pull out of the sport due career and family in their late 20s. They return to the sport in their late 30's. There is a precipitous drop off in women skiers beyond age 40. Majority of folks bail out in their 60's.
