If I even make it that far I doubt I'll be skiing....or walking.

That's pretty awesome. I wonder how long his parents lived, seems like longevity and fitness is in the genes after a certain point.

I remember seeing a 100 year old woman a couple years ago, she was skiing terrain off the magic carpet though, not pow

Amazing.

That is a rarity for sure! To live to that age for one, but be able to ski still - that would be awesome!

Very Cool. I'm shooting to skin up the Gulf of slides on my 100th :lol:

I have seen this guy at Alta , never would have thought he was 96.

Wow. Will have to look for him next time I'm up.

I've known/know quite a few people that skied into their 80's but only two that skied into their 90's. Both only skied to the age of 92. Ones no longer with us & the other I skied with last year but I'm pretty sure it was his last day. Sometimes the mind goes before the body.
