I think today's equipment plays a big part in the ability to ski efficiently. You never used to see someone my age (75) skiing multiple hours a day and significant numbers of days a season like you do now.
Maybe it's the seniors' equipment, not the ski equipment, that has improved.I think today's equipment plays a big part in the ability to ski efficiently. You never used to see someone my age (75) skiing multiple hours a day and significant numbers of days a season like you do now.
I think you're right about the ski equipment being better for longevity in skiing, but I think its imperative that the skier needs to learn to ski the modern equipment the way its intended to be skied or he/she will struggle and lose the potential efficiency.I think today's equipment plays a big part in the ability to ski efficiently.

I tell ya..if we didn't already name the site pugski....Skiagra!
Be careful what you wish forI can't wait to turn 50 (still a couple of years off) so I can get AARP discounts.
I think it is also that people, especially the baby boomers, are keeping themselves in better condition than our parents did. When I was a kid our family vacations consisted mostly of driving by stuff. My wife and I tend to do a lot of hiking on vacation.
And Skialis!Skiagra!

My Dad skied for the first time at age 75 at Copper Mountain.
