Yes. Bernie is going to be doing switch 10 blunts and slaying pillow lines when he's fifty.

Man the preoccupation with age on here is getting way out of control!

I'm 33 and skiing exponentially better than I was at 28. My story is a bit different because I didn't really learn how to ski until I was 22, but never the less I'm still progressing at an age that seems to equal retirement for the average NS'er. What is it that makes people think that you simply cannot ski even remotely like you did in your early twenties when you're in your thirties? I mean, if you stay strong and fit, there is no reason you shouldn't be.

Maybe it's because everyone compare themselves to the pro's who have been out there charging so hard, that once they get older they wanna relax a bit more, and ski in a way that doesn't take such a toll on their body. But even with that being said, they're still skiing and having fun!

So kids, stop thinking that skiing ends after 30, it's just not gonna happen!

completely agreed. funny how people start calling themselves old men and complaining about falls more when theyre in their 20s..meanwhile the big mtn super pros are in their 30s and taking huge hits. how old was seth morrison in his prime? like 30, and he was dropping BOMBS

stay fit and strong and dont fall prey to the placebo effect and youre gonna be slaying til youre 40 at least

If only the 23 year old girls I want to sleep with thought this was true.

many people just don't like to work out and keep their bodies strong, so crashes and falls will of course hurt them more when they are in their 20s

Ha! Thanks for wondering guys.  I feel a bit worse after a long day of park skiing but that's not gonna stop me.  The whole age debate isn't about being 32 and just going out for a nice day of skiing. It's about some of us getting into our 30s and still skiing hard in the park.  Not just doing a 360, but still learning new tricks and not losing our old ones.  How old can you be and still throw down?  It's one thing to be 40 and throw a 7 into pow (Douglas) but how will a day hitting park jumps feel?  32 isn't old, but I dont ride main park with any other 32 year olds.  Some of the other Montage guys are only a few years off though.  I've been working as a snow cat operator for 12 years now and 4 seasons in the southern hemisphere.  I get to ski a LOT.  I don't plan on slowing down but I don't feel the need to go crazy every day.  Here are a few edits that I've had a few shots in recently.

Nice with some insight from someone who is comparable to a pro (I don't know if you ever were, if so I apologise). I hear what you are saying about slowing down a bit, but what I was addressing in my post was this idea that a lot of NS'ers seem to have, that once you're 30, got a family, a job etc, you might as well quit skiing all together. I don't get that.

So do you do anything to stay in shape, a rigorous workout regime, or are you just naturally blessed with a sturdy body?

I've been really lucky.  There have been a lot of nagging small injuries along the way and I broke my right hand in half, but that's it.  The trick is just to never stop.  I ski around 200 days a year.  Never gone to a gym in my life and I stretch every once in a while.  It's not that you cant keep charging into your 30's, it's just that your priorities change.   I'm not kidding myself.  I'm not gonna do all the crazy tricks that kids are doing these days.  That doesn't mean that I don't still love to throw down every once in a while.
