Saw a recent post by @Kingslug20 that he may set a PR this year and reach 100 ski days. I only ski about 50 or 60 days, but also hit a PR last year of 61 as an older guy. I get the sense that this site has a lot of hardcore older skiers. I'm curious about you older guys who ski north of 50 days per winter. What's your secret? How do you get fit, manage aches and pains during the season, and successfully get through a season with many ski days?
Personally, I try to stay active in the off-season, although sometimes health issues slow me down. I ski a lot of partial days and usually only about 3 or 4 days per week. I ski some gnarly stuff, but also enjoy groomers. I'm fairly cautious on the hill and try to keep my head on a swivel so as to not get taken out by faster or out of control skiers/boarders. Go to bed early. Use the hot tub, etc. Wife feeds me good
