Flying
High on the Slopes
Age just doesn't matter to some
people. Don Ellis, 70, loves to ride his snowboard down
Mt Holly in Michigan. That is if he has time to take away
from his busy schedule of ski patrol which he has done
for the past 28 years. Don started snowboarding at the
age of 68 after he saw all the kids having so much fun
doing it. "I decided if they can do it, I can do
it," said Don. "Age has nothing to do with it.
Just take a lesson and don't give up". A grandfather
of two, Don reports he feels about 23 years old when
asked his age but when he is around his wife he has to
act his age! Don also enjoys ice skating, rollerblading,
running, biking and swimming. "Life is so full of
fun, I find it strange when people say they have nothing
to do" remarks Don.
