“the words "82 year old" and "streak" should never come together in the same sentence”

“I hope I am still on the slopes at 82!”

“I totally understand how you can get into a 'streak'. When I'm his age, I hope to be doing that too!

Mine is a "consecutive weekends in the Sierra/Death Valley" streak. This coming weekend (Mar 19-20) is weekend 65 for me.

There is a group in NorCal that has skiid once a month for up to 19 years. They go out once a month and find a patch of snow and call 10 turns a day. Not my kind of thing, but one female said she was on 19 years and might quit at 20 (this year). They'll be in Mammoth when the Tahoe area slopes close, and in the summer months they'll find patches of snow to ski.”

“some people are strange.

no offense, but i wouldn't be on a ski slope if i just had my cancerous kidney taken out.”

“He wasn't on the slopes after his cancerous kidney was taken out...he delayed the surgery to the off season.”

“Which is even worse! Admirable streak, but not at the expense of his health.”

“Who is that streaking man???”
