I will give him until 4pm! Happy birthday :D
Must be having a good one :D
I've skied with a number of elderly people (let's say over 70 for sake of argument) over the years most memorably a 72 or 73 year old Canadian!
He was a padre in the Canadian Air Force, still serving/working, based in Germany.
3 pilots were staying in the chalet I was running and they introduced me to this guy.
Amazing!
I was in my mid twenties, skiing the full season, reckoned myself pretty good by then.
He skied the pants off me - completely.
:oops:
I was humbled and amazed and inspired.
I'll never be as good a skier as him but do aim to ski well into my dotage.
Mind you I found out later that he had been in the Canadian Ski Team 50 years earlier.
:lol:

Shame you don't get free lift passes when you hit a certain age :twisted:
Happy Birthday Wickers, have a great day.

Free lift passes start at 75. If you are still skiing at that age I think you should get free holidays!!
He did not show his face at 4pm as I predicted :(
