We went there last year in the summer (2006) and I drove to Troodos and walked my 7 year old son up and down the (what would be in winter) the ski slope - gotta wear him out some how!

Ah, lovely. Will return soon once NZ travels over!

I'm taking my Dad to Borovets on the 2nd Feb. He thinks that at 64 it's about time he learnt to ski
. Or could it be I told him that it only £1 a pint 
re: Oldest person you seen Skiing
PP - I remember Vim like you haven't seen him for a few years - did ask Will & Dick about him but they don't have any news either. Unbelieveable that he was 84 when we last saw him as he didn't look a day over 60.re: Oldest person you seen Skiing
One of our party at xmas will be "Blakey" (so called as he is the image of Blakey off "on the buses") He is 70 in May.re: Oldest person you seen Skiing
I was taught telemark skiing five years ago by a 75 year old one legged man. He was absolutely amazing, not just because of his technique, but also his ability to outski us, a group of 6 ski instructors!!
re: Oldest person you seen Skiing
By the sound of things we could be skiing into our 80s then. Must make New Years resoloution no more smokin boozin or loose women gimme a few more years lol.re: Oldest person you seen Skiing
Dunno about the oldest, but I saw a guy last year in an all in one lycra suit, that was not attractive. He was not very good at keeping in shape eitherre: Oldest person you seen Skiing
Ok, kind of off topic - its not skiing - but I used to work scuba diving and we had a 93 year old woman out on the boat for a week trip, diving every day. She learned when she was 73, and even then had to lie about her age, and told them she was 53, and they almost wouldn't let her do it. Amazing.And then walking the inca trail in March this year there was a 73 year old guy walking it - that is hardcore.
