Some folks think they are too old to hit the slopes. Then there are the other folks who say you are never too old.
We caught up with a group of 80-and 90-year-olds who say why let a good snow covered hill go to waste.
Where they get the energy and stamina we have no idea. We spent the afternoon with about two dozen Bethany Village residents at Roundtop Mountain Resort, better known as Ski Roundtop.
We went tubing, well our Brandie Meng went down the hill once, the seniors went tubing.
It was cold, the snow was blowing and smiles were popping up everywhere.
“Oh its fun,” exclaimed one tuber.
“I would not come and just watch, I’d stay home before I’d do that,” commented another.
“I’m 83,” Leroy Erickson began. “I used to ski down here years ago. You get a little older, you don’t want to do that so this is a good opportunity to have some fun.”
“We hook together and you go faster,” chuckled one person. “You got to have weight, one time we had six of the tubes together, go shooting down.”
For most age wasn't a factor.
“I remember the days when I used to do that, not now,” Ed Evans told us. “I act my age.”
“With all that blowing out there, they can have it, Ill stay in here (the lodge),” added Rosemarie Evans.
The funny thing is we would like to see the driving records of the residents who hit the slopes. Many where complaining it was too slow and faster in years past.
But our own Brandie Meng thought it was a little too fast.
