This blog was inspired almost 16 years ago by fellow geezer skier Pat Ryan who has now passed on to another existence. He is credited with giving us badges with our name and and the expression "tough old geezer skier". Many of us have proudly worn those badges from 2019 to the present. However, I regret that many of our original group have either passed on or hung up the skis due to health or other issues. As our group has diminished in numbers, we now attempt to recruit other senior skiers to take up the cause of encouraging respect to the aging population of skiers that still have what it takes to glide down the slopes with enthusiasm, joy and skill.
Over the years, I have had waxing and waning attention to commentary on the geezer skier activities. In the early days of 2009 I was often putting out a daily epistle. That enthusiasm has waned in recent years. I hope to rekindle a more productive behavior for the 2025-26 season. For one thing, I need to update my profile. My photo is probably 17 or more years old taken at Gore Mountain on a glorious sunny day. Look for a new photo from Greek Peak as the new season start. I"ll have a different coat with not only my Geezer Skier badge, but also 90+ patch on my coat and a 90+ decal on my helmet compliments of the 70+ Ski Club that I have been a member of for 20 years.
Recently, I have been playing with artificial intelligence at a tool for writing poems and prose. In my experiments I have fed information into the app and asked for analysis and creative summaries of the thoughts I have provided. Following that, I have used that as a starting point for a modified product including my own creativity. Here is a product of that process produced by Copilot app. I gave it a rambling verbal input of my musings on being a geezer skier blogger and my shortcomings and successes. It needs some editing but for what its worth it does capture most of my sentiments. More to come as this winter progresses. Enjoy and I welcome your feedback.
