George Jedenoff, who kept skiing past the age of 100 at Alta ski area in Utah, has celebrated his 106th birthday.
"We chatted with George earlier this week and wished him a happy birthday. George may be done skiing, but he's still a big part of Alta and the Wild Old Bunch," an Alta spokesperson said.
Mr Jedenoff began skiing more than 60 years ago after moving to Utah and was still skiing at Alta until the age of 103.
Asked about skiing in the latter years of life, George commented,
"Age is just a number. Don't let it hold you back. Always be kind to others and never give up."
