99-year-old skier, George Jedenoff is back at Alta and Snowbird for his 57th consecutive year of skiing in Utah. George reflects on the happiness skiing has given him throughout his life.
I'm 77. My goal is to ski Alta Free at 80 was set when I first heard about the guy still skiing well into his 80s. Must have been George. THREE MORE YEARS!!!
Back in 03-04(I think), I rode the chair lift at Alta with George I thought at the time he told me he was in his mid 80's and was skiing with a lady in her late 70's. I skied a run with him (groomed black) and told him he is my hero and I want to be him when I grow up. Great to see he is still making turns. There's still lots of time for your turns! Have a great day,
