Our snowbird friends have flown south once again. There not trying to get away from the snow. Oh contraire, they are here for the good stuff at Schweitzer! Our tuques are off to you as we welcome back the Calgary Senior Alpine Club.
Everyone who skis or rides knows what an alpine club is. There is something special though about the senior part. After all who doesn’t want to still be riding well past retirement age?
So here is a simple explanation of what Senior stands for;
S – Skiing
E – Enthusiasts
N – Nature-loving
I – Inspirational
O – Over-achieving
R – Relics
Yes, they have truly stayed the test of time. Just remember, some of them started out (and survived!) on wooden skis with long thong bindings and (bur-r-r-r-r) cold wet leather boots. Thank goodness for today’s technology. It will make it a lot easier for the rest of us to enjoy our golden years. That is if we are blessed enough to live that long! So, stay healthy and keep in shape. Some day in the future you too can find yourself inspiring and motivating future generations of mountain riders!
