ZM: Is skiing suitable for the elderly? Do you know anybody who is old but still skis regularly?
Mirka: Well, I know my parents. My dad is 78, my mom 72, and they still ski! You can go slowly if you want, you don’t have to speed up. And it works for itself. If you just “let go’’, it works for you. And you can always take a rest in the ski lift. Maybe the only thing that needs more work for elderly people is, the “getting up’’ again after falling. But if you have nice, soft snow and the right group with you, it helps a lot.
