Old skier dude

I went skiing for the first time in 20 years the other day on Mammoth Mountain in Sierra Nevada. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I'm not exaggerating when I say there were maybe 50 people on the slopes. I skied in a sweat shirt at 11,000 feet.
The only bummer is that 20 years ago I wasn't old, out of shape, and afraid of speed.
What was really cool is that skiing on 175cm is now ok, and both tips are curled up so you can ski backwards. Back then they had to be 200cm or longer or people laughed at you.
I remember wanting to snowboard back then, and being banned from the lift. Now it's all snowboarders. Times have sure changed.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
