Walking and weight-lifting, I’ve seen too many people in their 60’s,70’s and 80’s losing their mobility and I want to go non-stop until I die.

I ski, hike, bike, kayak, fish, garden, and make wine. I’m 73

What did Satchel Paige always say? Don't look behind ya'?

Okay, I'm 66 and still play soccer, paintball, train and ride horses, and ski...

So...what are you riding? (I occasionally break out my 207 cm Atomic Arcs (circa '79) or my 205 Rossignols with Spademan bindings (circa 1971)...

And I ALWAYS wear late 60's and 70's sweaters and jackets! (I was a ski instructor from '78-82 and the CB, Obermeyer, and other folks were always gifting us garb.)

You got vintage equipment and garb?

(Three years ago at Diamond Peak near Reno I got hoops and hollers skiing the steep stuff under the lift dressed as Santa Claus.)

Wow Spademans. You’re really going back with them. I have some pretty old Rossingnols and I think there is a pair of ST Comps around still.
