[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.  What kind of crap shape are you in?  [/quote]

Read my words again:  do you really think [b]most people who know how to ski[/b] are going to want to ski more than 3-4 runs after they turn 70?  Maybe the ski patrol, but most people, which means probably?  And I am in perfectly good shape and ruck in steep terrain for hours 5-6 days per week.  Maybe if I lived in California and owned a slope-side house I would feel differently, but my realistic options are in icy New England/Quebec.[/quote]

Your post started with 40s, not 70. That’s what people are reacting to. I fully expect to be skiing more than 4 runs after 70, but agree that at 80 I will need to slow down. I still do steeps and bumps in my 60’s but also mix in some groomers.

I had a really fun long weekend in Quebec last season. Conditions were very good. [/quote]
