Hi am Vic 73 this year have open lake skied on and off most of my adult life. After 25 years off I started skiing with my sons in 2015 having had both knees replaced in 2014. I started on a 2000 connelly hook had a lot of trouble getting up. Both sons recommended newer wider ski. Got a 69 Connelly Outlaw with Nova Front boot. Managed some Full Passes 2019 and 2020 at 15 off and 26MPH Now on a 2003 Connelly F1X and relearning everything. Looking to upgrade ski to 2020 model. but having trouble picking one out. Love skiing and get out three or four times a week behind a 1998 Ski Centurion Falcon I bought last year.
In the Winter I go south and have been skiing with Erick Lee for the last 2 years. Great fun that, Love it. Skiing has helped me stay active and healthy and probably saved my Life because it keeps me going. In 2017 got leukemia which was treated with Chemo. Still going strong now. Happy skiing everyone.
