Its not his age thats such a feature as his daily routine: he skins up (his skis, not a phat one) and walks up the Ahorn Abfahrt, then skis it down in about 4 minutes. And then does it again. And again. Every day. His calves are as wide as my chest.

Wow, 10 inch calves!

The oldest person I've ever skied with is Ian Wickham :mrgreen:

My brother once introduced me to his snowboard instructor colleague who was over 70.
