Indeed I'm not! I'd like to think I'll still be skiing when I am though :D

Would liked to have watch Trencher's video, but while it opened, it gummed up and would not play.

Imagine if it's one of those US resorts where people over seventy ski for free. I supose that's why free skiing for seniors is getting rarer.
because I'm so inclined .....

OK, I have to wait a few years. There is little in the way of oldies free skiing in Euroland. Most resorts have cottoned on to the fact that if you are a regular skier, over 60, the chances are, you can do three times as much skiing in a day as the average punter.
The skiwelt create a reduction if you are over 80. (I suppose the grandparents have to be alive, and still capable of at least a snowplough)
Fortunately, I ski in a working class resort, one that has a socialist outlook. Most of the oldies are local, and the lift company does not dare to do away with it's favourable pass ts & cs!
