[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point in your 40s/50s/60s you are probably going to find that taking a 3-4 runs up and down the mountain is all you have the appetite for, and for those 3-4 runs, you spent unjustifiable dollars.[/quote]

Speak for yourself. I am early 60's and still ski all day - aim for at least 20k vertical at a real mountain, maybe 10k feet at a local mountain. I'm sure I will slow down at some point but I'm enjoying it until then. Once we retire we plan to spend a month of winter at a ski resort - probably a different one each year. We might not ski every day, or all day, but I look forward to the experience. DH will definitely ski less than me, but it will be nice to have the flexibility. We've looked at buying a place in VT but decided we'd prefer to go to different places. Plus we already have a 2nd home so don't want to add a 3rd to the mix.

I know skiing isn't for everyone and that's fine. But it's great for our family. Our adult kids are happy to join us on ski vacations, and we go with friends as well. I find it to be a very social sport - the only time you aren't engaging with people is skiing downhill. [/quote]
