I'm calling out a couple members who participated in the Reno Tahoe Senior Winter Games.
@Jasmine and @Peter - I wondered if @ScotsSkier was there.

Jasmine and Peter both took medals.

Peter looks a little less excited about it.

@Peter was excited, he just doesn't always take the best selfies.

My father-in-law is 85 now and has been participating in the Huntsman World Senior Games in St George, Utah, for about 20 years or so. When I asked him if there was a winter equivalent, he said he didn't know, but if there is, I should try it. 'Cept for I'm more of an old school free-dogger than a racer. It's great to find out there is such a thing, in any case. I might wander out there and check it out some day.

He's still doing the Senior Games, even at 85. About 10 years ago we watched him play a 4-hour tennis match there. He and his opponent kept exchanging points until he finally got up by two and won. He plays singles, doubles and mixed doubles at those games. He inspires me to keep it up with skiing.
