Skiing the U.P. by myself to close out the season and move on to the P car and fishing. I've decided that if I wait for my Boomer pals to do things that they won't get done. Lots of them have "aged out" of many activities. I'm 71 and still ripping though bumps only get skied by mistake these days, usually when I misread (or don't bother with) a trail map and grooming report out west.
Off to day 31.......

That is awesome Mike! Our first time we did this trip in 2016 there was only gonna be 4 of us then when others found out we ended up with 12 of us. 2020 was cancelled because the ski resort was closed due to covid, but all other years except this one we have had all 12 repeat. This year one of the guys bailed on us but he was a bit older and he was not really part of our core group back in the day.
We are all amazed that we all keep making the effort to come. A few of us still live within 5 hrs of ski resort but some of the other guys fly in from Greenville SC, Texas and Atlanta.
The conversation and laughter is off the charts and essentially we revert back to our 20 year old personas like we were back at Daytona Beach spring breaks in the 80's. Our wives would likely kill us if they heard our conversations and joking.
I would be marched down to our HR dept and fired within 30 seconds of hearing just about any of our conversations.
