GRAND PA AND GRAND MA ARE ON THE HILL
Observing people is a sport within itself: especially, people of older age who love to ski. When you are in a ski lodge, when you are on the ski slopes, when you are in the sports shop---look around and watch these people. Are they realy the older skiers, or are they young skiers?
Looking at them coming down a ski hill turning this way and that way having fun, makes them young.
Years ago, they probably could not afford the sport of skiing because they were having a family, sending their children to school, or college; but today, when their children are gone, they can enjoy this sport of skiing. Hence they are on the hill having fun.
"It's fun, I like the cold clear air against my face. Just standing here, looking down a mountain and seeing all these younger people having fun and me at my age(70) having the same type of fun, makes me ' Young'. I am not old, I might look it at seventy, but I'm not old. This is the way I feel when I go skiing." A skier said, while watching other people skiing. "So what if I fall, I will just get up and go down the hill. I don't feel embarrassed. Even the good skiers fall, so why should I feel embarrassed."
These commits were made during a conversation with several skiers who were in their seventys skiing at Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, who still put in a good day of skiing.
Watching these old timers ski, shows that age has nothing to do with the sport---it's the way you feel that makes you old or young. So, get out there and enjoy yourself doing the sport that you like.
