When I was young, believe it or not, I hated skiing. My dad would tell us we didn't have a choice, we were going to ski because it was a sport for a lifetime. Golf, tennis, and skiing are sports you can do for most of your life. There are very few senior citizen groups playing football. I stuck with it (kind of, but that is another story) and by the time I was seven I loved skiing. Watching the CBS Sunday Morning bit last week on Lou Batori and the 70+ ski group brought Dad's advice back. I sometimes can't wait to get that $15 season pass when I turn 70 and then to continue skiing into my 80's and hopefully 90's! Maybe Sunday Morning will come a do a report on me in 2070!
