How to ski better, later in life?

The obvious answer is that it starts with a dedicated and intense practice before one gets too old, but it also requires a true passion for the sport. 

This, in my opinion isn’t only true for skiing but for any sports that can be practiced later into life. 

The reason its requires a great deal of passion is because that intense trait takes the drudgery out of the hard work required. If it’s fun, it’s never work, right? 

So, what I recommend, when possible, is to always include some “hard stuff” into a ski outing, always skiing runs non-stop from top to bottom, always returning and redoing a run when one had a mishap, as soon as possible.

Always adding “one more run”, skiing bad terrain, big moguls and bad snow and bad weather when available. 

Going a tad faster faster when it’s safe and possible and never discount the possibility of going skiing even when the conditions look far from auspicious; you’d be surprised how many times they’re in fact far better than what we imagine them to be. 

All these little tips will make you an old and able skier before you even know it.
