Very cool, I worked the evening shift for a couple years and skied mid week during the day. I met a lot of very active older people doing so, very inspirational. Happy early birthday Warp! We'll have to try to hook up for some turns next year. Maybe I can run up to Titus on a Whiteface trip, or you could come down. Or, Snow Ridge after a dump does not suck. Rambo and I hit it on a Friday after a foot, it was one of the highlights of my season.

Awesome!

She made it to 100 because she keeps active and tries new things.

Awesome ... Happy birthday. I had a hard time dealing with 46 last year. :???:

I skied with someone that was 69 in Zermatt in August 2011. Awesome skier; lifetime ski instructor (TR was written, but is still in draft mode.). I skied with John Fripp in his 80s (there is a trail named after him at Tremblant). He was still skiing at warp speed when he stopped due to family concerns. John skied Masters as well as another people from Southern Ontario is his 80s who showed up for the Ontario Championships near Ottawa a few years ago.

A few inspirational people for you Warp Daddy and other:

that is crazy!

I was actually at A-Basin on May 11th, I heard someone announce that over the PA, although I didn't actually see her.

Forget skiing, I hope I can stand by 100 (or even make it there while not being totally senile)
