Fooled me Masque and shocked the more attractive and blonde part of my relationship. Don't worry 'bout the bet - keep the hair, man!

David G and Masque are almost old enough to be my (legal) father ..... frightening. (I'm in the 30's).

Well, I'm new here, signed up five minutes ago and what do I run into as my first thread? An age thing. I notice that at 72 I'm the only old fossil, which makes me wonder:
When I was in my 40s and 50s there were a zillion skier my age, where are they now?
Anyway, I see some familiar names from EpicSki, the snowHeads look like a nice bunch of skiers so far, but this is only my first thread

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN BARRETT, and less of your cheek young man.....LAY OFF THE BALLYMENA ACCENT ( or I'll have to come down to Omagh & give you a 'Harryville Handshake'!!! ) 
Its rude to ask a lady her age and we usually lie anyway! I will admit to being a POTATO......

Hi Ott. Nice to have you. I suddenly feel much younger. I have ambitions of getting the free ski pass at Val d'Isere for the over 75s. You are nearly there. Go for it!

Chris, we (my wife and I) just returned from skiing two weeks at Copper Mountain in Colorado, four days each week for free plus and additional day at Arapahoe Basin for $10 each. What is this now, about 3 or 4 Euros

Ott Gangl, The Euro isn't quite that strong! The Euro and the dollar are not far off parity, well they should be about the same in theory. I didn't start skiing till I was 47, so I've a lot of ground to make up.
I need to keep going another 21 years to get my free pass at Val D.

Well, this votes just taken the shine of a nice glass of single malt !! Going by the voting so far I'm over the hill
Thinking though, when I was 18 I thought 21 was old, when I was 21 twenty five seemed old, when I was 25 thirty was old, 30 and 40 was old and now that I'm 41 old doesn't start until at least 55.

AB - wouldn't worry about it - suspect the demographics have more to do with a combination of working knees and disposable income that being 'over the hill'.
Born just a few weeks too late to see England win the world cup... but at least I must have heard the commentary...

Probably here-can't afford NZ. BBQ in the garden I think. 120 candles could be a fire hazard. We'll need a fireman !!!!!

Well, I've never seen so many, esp. ladies, openly admiting their age. BTW, Annehillskiing, how long 'till your cake is due?

Still in the 40's but feel in the teens when ski-ing as I'm just a 3 year old (in ski years), the rush takes me back to my teen years on a motorbike.
