“You’re never too old.”
Yes, you eventually do get too old. Bones get brittle, reaction time slows, your sense of balance is not what it was, ligaments are completely gone after multiple falls over the years, you get out of shape, and you have more trouble with the altitude. The peak age for skiers in 25 to 30. Less than 5% of skiers are over 65, and it isn’t because they are bored with it. They just aren’t physically capable any longer.
The Masters race program has a good percent of those old skiers. I just hope I can do it till I'm no longer able to walk.
