In this nasty and divisive political season, with vitriolic messages bombarding us from all media sources, this video right here contains one message I can actually get behind. And it comes from 98-year-old George Jedenoff, aka “Skier George.” He has been a mainstay at Alta and Snowbird for 56 years, and plans to keep skiing past 100. SkiUtah put together this awesome video about George, and with it, his Powder Philosophy. So what does nearly a century of life in the mountains teach us? Check it out:
The Powder Philosophy is pretty timely in our modern era. I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope like hell I can ski as well as George when I’m his age.
If you see Skier George at Alta, be sure to give him a high-five.
