its kind of wierd to say that someone is 100, like asking someone how old they are and they say 100.

It's just crazy to think what that guy first learned to ski on... Wood planks, literally.

So cool!

I remember Klaus Obermeyer (91), the German guy who went to Colorado and had his own fashion label over there and is now basically the "father of skiing" over there. He had a feature in WME's "Playground" and did a backflip on a snowmobile, calling it a "Bavarian Backflip" :D Wish this was up on youtube or somewhere else :/

This is not the one, but this is the guy:
