Every year when we go to Vermont, we watch these two guys go out once or twice/day. Finally this year, I asked to go with them, with very good results.

They're old friends, and they're both in their 70s. They have so much fun! It was a joy to shoot them.

What's really nice about their slalom course is that it goes north-south. That means that in the evening, the sun's either on them or behind them, yielding different but equally nice effects. I especially like how the water takes on texture, as in many surfing shots I've seen.

Nice set, that's who I want to be in 30 years. Reminds me of the guys in their 70's and 80's who routinely kick my butt on a bike.

I bet they love those shots!

Not only do they still ski - they slalom! VERY impressive. And great shots - as Robert says, I'll bet they'd love a few copies of these.

They do love the shots. :)

Believe me, I showed them before I posted here!

And I agree completely that they're amazing - they remind me of a guy in his 70s who virtually ran past me on a steep hiking trail 20 years ago.

Wow. Those are awesome! I think about getting old and i really want to stay active and do cool things like this. I want to be a young old lady.
