Kudos Steve, my days of skiing are over. I'm only 61 but reference the Top Gun quote my body cannot cash the checks anymore. I can still do many things but falling on skis and breaking my shoulders is not a risk reward combo for me. I still jog around and ride motorcycles all the time. Jealous you can still manage the downhills, but the second issue for me are the costs. Holy C that sport is insanely expensive now.

Edit, if the downhill ski industry is anything like mountain biking industry then your older skies and boots are not your friend. Last time I skied (8 years ago) I demo'd some latest model equipment. I was an average blue slope guy but that equipment made me better than I actually am. Just like my SDGT KTM and all the electronics they pack in.

Ski safe Steve!!
