At 101 and a half years old, George Jedenoff is back skiing Utah. This year we take a look at George's exercise program that he credits with keeping himself in shape to ski. From stretching to jogging and situps, George religiously sticks to his exercise routine and completes it every morning before breakfast.

George's other secret to his longevity is his optimistic attitude that he says he's had all his life. "Don't let your problems get you down" George says. "Stay positive."

ICYMI, here are more videos of George skiing over the last decade at Alta and Snowbird:
