Happy Freakin' Birthday to Me. And Nils. RIP
Nils - I hope you're still skiing the deep powder my friend. RIP
It's one of those monumental birthdays for me.
I'm 50!

IG- had no idea you guys shared a birthday, wow.
I may not be gaining on you much, but we'll be the same age again in about 9 months. Holeee shit.
My only consolation is that that old fuck Jibij will always be older than both of us.
Suck it, old man!

Happy Birthday. You guys make the 50's look good.
I'm just a simple girl trying to make my way in the universe...
I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

50 ain't no big deal. I just finished my 50th year on Tuesday. I manged to get to the top of Shasta in May, so age does not need to be a limiting factor.http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...=shasta+hutash Enjoy the years of wisdom you have accumulated, and go out a get some young punks ass.

Wow! That's like hundreds of years of ski/riding experience between just a handful of you! You guys could write a book about fighting the British on skis.
RIP Nils & Happy Birthday all!

Happy b-day IG and God bless the dead.
Do all of you 50 year olds feel the same physically? Seriously.
George Foreman was heavyweight champ of the world at 50...

Thank for all the words - kind and otherwise.
Oh, be still my heart. Thank you sweetie!
After breaking my clavicle, scapula and ribs last year, I put on nearly 20 pounds. Other than trying to get back to my fighting weight, I definitely don't feel like I'm 50.

Anybody who says they feel the same at 50 is full of shit. That doesn't mean you can't do lots of good stuff, e.g. George.
It is like the old adage..."I ski better now then I did at 20", you are either full of shit, or sucked at 20.
I feel pretty good at 51, and can still out ride a lot of 20 year old kids on my road bike, but it takes a hell of a lot more effort to stay in shape, and more importantly, recover. Especially after drinking

Happy 51. 50 was the first birthday (4 years ago) to ever bother me, and while I get more ski days now then before, I can feel things (like arthritis, tendonitis etc) taking a real toll.
Starting to get really jealous of the younger crowd, and can only impart the wisdom to live everyday for all it's worth.
Best to Nils too. Never had the benefit of meeting him, but hope every day of his is waist deep and he and Shane are laughing it up.
