Replying to Progression and getting older

I'm now 32 years-old. In the grand scheme of things that isn't that old. However, in the sport of skiing that seems ancient. I have never been a park skier. I have always been more interested in all-mountain and big mountain riding. I really want to find ways to progress as a skier in these disciplines.

Does anyone have any ideas of how us older skiers can push ourselves? Especially when we are no longer in our 20's and our bodies break down easier.
