Flying High on the Slopes

Flying High at age 70!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.
