that's pretty cool, hope he's still skiing at 110!

Wow

Nice!

Love the old school rear entry Salomons!

Inspiration for us all. Only 58 seasons to go for me to catch George. I'm up for the challenge!

We can only hope we can make that long and still be able to do that.

Not to mention he's skiing pretty well.

Those Salomon equipe boots were my first ski boots.

There is also a 106 year old still skiing in Michigan.

From that article about Lou Batori: "He frequently skis with Batori acting as a wing-man protecting him from oncoming skiers and riders." That might be the real problem with 100 year old skiers. They ski fine but they can't necessarily protect themselves from other skiers and boarders. Collisions happen all the time, including in the lift line, but this is a real big issue for 100 year olds.

Very true. Luckily at 106, you can choose the times of day and the days that are to ski as you're certainly not working and probably are not trying to ski for a full 8 hours at a time.

Who'd have thought that upon reaching 100 and still be skiing, you'd be shown up by a 106 year old whipper-snapper.

The trails Lou is skiing on are 1,300' to 1,500' long. they are also very wide and when he skis it is during the week in the daytime.

Just incredible! Good for him.

 

[WJenness]

I want to be like him when I grow up.

Now that's a goal I am shooting for! 58 Years to go! I will see you all on the hill on December 31, 2075!
