Skiing like a... septuagenarian!

When I was just in my 50s or even my 60s, I never really imagined that I would ski and still enjoy the sport past my 70th birthday.

Yesterday, as I was closing on my 30th day on skis this season, I was trying to summarize how it felt to ski as a septuagenarian.

I must say, that nothing much has changed; the fun is still there in its entirety, my body still welcomes the punishment, the speed has gone down a tiny bit, but still remain as a major assistance in helping me make the few turns that are absolutely necessary; finally, the desire to ski tomorrow remains as intense as it ever was.

So if you are not yet at my stage in life, just rejoice; there's still plenty of fun to be had on skis and I'm quite confident that I'll still “ski my age” this season!
