From Adventure Journal

	Bud Stoll: An expert at driving in ski boots. "Just use your heel."

It’s nice to see Salomon Freeski TV branching out from simply glorifying its athletes to telling stories about just folks, in this case a handful of silver hairs who still roll to the hill in Toyota picks, hike for their turns and bang off 100-plus days a year. Good times, good times.

This feature originally appeared on Adventure Journal, an online magazine devoted to outdoor adventure in all its forms, launched in 2008.

Somehow I'm not surprised this is the content he submitted. I mean, I'm a geezer, so he must be ancient. This must be one of those rage against time phase things.

Wow! Mary Woodward has it made! I have 27 more years before I can look forward to skiing just like her! Way to go Mary!
