I didn't start skiing till I was 50. Loved it. I ripped my left meniscus playing golf at 59, then ripped the right one two months later playing softball. Haven't ski since but have some fantastic memories of Vermont, Quebec, PA, Alta, Snowbird, Big Mountain, MT, Lake Louise, and Whistler. I've taken my new wife up the chairlift and gondola in Whistler and whenever we're doing the tourist thing, I always got to get her up high! Grouse Mountain in Vancouver was out latest altitude adventure; she really loved the grizzly bears!
