Annie at 72 and Clint at 90 getting in some turns. There’s hope for quite a few more years on skis for me yet!
Quite a few decades it seems: https://www.inthesnow.com/worlds-oldest-skiers/ My favourite story: “The Man who Skied the Vallee Blanche for his 99th Birthday Kiezo Miura was a legendary Japanese skier who celebrated his 99th birthday by skiing down the Vallee Blanche, the world’s longest lift-serviced off piste run, and celebrated his 100th birthday with four generations of his family skiing in Snowbird, Utah. A skiing teacher and photographer of mountain landscapes was, Keizo was also the oldest person to climb Kilimanjaro’s, age 77, and his oldest son Yuichiro, was the first man to ski Mt Everest. Keizo died in 2006, 41 days short of his 102nd birthday.”
Looks like Clint is in Full Tilt boots, I didn't realise he was a mogul skiing, park rat who liked charging hard off piste.
Watch four older gents in Steamboat this year ski better than I do quite quickly down to the lift line. They had ear muffs, cowboy hats held on with a drawstring and all of them were on 190 plus straight skis from the eighties. Not a scratch on them. Had a good chat, locals who ski regularly all of the over 78. I hope I still ski at that age with that much style and skill.
Great call Carveman, by the looks of the second photo he has had them a long time, unsurprisingly. And Full Tilt do have one in basically identical colours.
These are the oldest competitors at the Winter World Masters Games in Innsbruck last year. They were born in the 1930s. So not just skiing but racing Slalom and GS including wearing racesuits
Are you sure that's not for ski jumping because they guy on the right looks like he's landed on his head a few too many times
I skied with Clint in Aspen in 1990. I think he was wearing the same one piece shown above and the Raichles.
