Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

No, I'm 45 1/3, and Masque is older, though a touch cagey, and not sure if he boards now.

BCjohnny, boarder first and always, but I've grown to enjoy lots of different ways of sliding down the hill. I like to wake in the morning, look at the hill and decide what sort of day it's gonna be and what tool to use. . balls to the wall skiing an icy piste or powdering my plums boarding off it . . . and for the record, 56 this year.

LOL at you lot and very reassuring.

I'm 46 in March and whilst my mates are all quite a bit younger, plus I see the world through 25 year old eyes, I was the oldest boarder in Cham by a looooong way.

I don't grow designer stubble any more as its 50% grey and my hair is a number 1 or 2, which hides the grey nicely.

Still fit though and still love ripping it up on a board, especially if there's a bit of powder to be had.

I may put skis on again one day, but I just feel much too young for them. (blue touch paper lit... retires to safe distance)


Is it really a whole seven weeks until I am on the mountains again? I am wasted back at work, all I can think about is riding a board again. Perhaps we should start a Boarding Vets Club.

I'm 46 this year, and still feel as if I'm a young upstart having only boarded 15 years or so. There are probably 40 year olds who've done more seasons on a board than I've had weeks boarding. So, one should be careful to distinguish between age and experience.

What are you, some kind of nancy boy? Laughing

Comb off the leccy razor, beard, neck, head. Repeat process when missus says "ain't it about time you had a shave, I can see the tide mark". Don't (blade) shave though, turns me into a spotty oik.

Can't claim to act 25 though no more, just about up to my waist size.

We had a pair of sixty-something ladies staying when we worked in a chalet in Courchevel. Grandson had bought one of them a full set of Burton baggies and reflective goggles for Christmas, so she thought she had better get a snowboard to match. Her friend was a hesitant skier, clad in a tight turquoise one-piece straight out of the 80s. They spent most of the week lying on the nursery slope giggling, and it was wonderful to see!

I don't see many boarders who look as if they are older than me (60 this year). Trouble is I'm rubbish and have a list of injuries to prove it, but I have still bought myself a new board this year in the misplaced hope that better kit will make me a better boarder...
Though I do like that idea of a Boarder Vets Club - bar shaker for President.

Almost the only thing that's stopping me learning how to board at my advanced age, is the fact that I haven't yet learned how to ski! There's not much point in doing both things incompetently. Embarassed

Hurtle, Laughing but my other signature is "er, ok. so if i'm finally getting better at this whole snowboarding lark... why do i still face/bum plant??!!" so take it from there.

Hurtle, faceplanting on a regular basis is keeping the wrinkles at bay - its a cheap alternative to a face lift Laughing

There is a chap called Len who goes to MK, he was 60 odd about 5 years ago, so may be pushing 70 now.

We stayed in the same chalet as him in L2A and he did his back in jumoing of a big kicker in the park!!!
