    Ski Bums Never Die

    I think it's fair to say that if any of us are in these people's shoes at their age, we will consider our lives a great success. This is one of my favourite episodes we've ever put together...

    Outstanding. If that doesn't put a smile on some ones face nothing will.

    How many old timers can you fit in the back of a toyota? Are a few more hiding in there? The glade they were skiing looked fun. I can only hope i'm still alive to ski at their ages. Senior Citizen Rippers!

    People with coexist stickers are ALMOST as bad as tele skiers, although there is some overlap.

    For sure a feel good story for those of us that are getting older. Thanks for all the good work Mike!

    Pure stoke right there!

    I read about these folks in the colours issue of KMC, yet I never imagined they still ripped so hard! Awesome episode.

    That is rad. Had to show it to my mother, born & raised in the Kootenays. Trying to convince her to get skiing again.

    Oh wh20.

    Best locals ever. While working up there last winter I had the pleasure to have several discussions with this fantastic group. Mary is always kind enough to fill up her lil jeep with as many hitchhikers to the hill as possible, and the group is willing to have a chat.

    The silver surfers should make a full on movie.

    That was strictly child's play; no inversions, the POV sucked as there was no pole mounted segement,no BEP soundtrack, amateurish editing,poor cinematography,bad lighting,lousy script,boring plotline, & worst of all, nary a mute grab to be had !
    Calmer than you dude
