Getting some respect, finally!

In recent years, when I'm on the chairlift, most people either totally ignore me or treat me with deference, just because, I assume, they see enough older skin showing up from what they can see outside of my helmet, balaclava and snow goggles.

They seize me and quickly realize I'm not that young anymore, so here we are, I hear some “sirs” here and there, along with that shroud of respect that goes towards elders. I'd never really thought I'd reach that point!
