In fairness, he did say that about Silverton and Taos. If by “that” he is referring to true no fall zones, places where if you fall you die (Silverton seems to be full of those and Taos has its share as well) I understand the feeling of possibly aging out of that. Double blacks are one thing, and I’ll chase those as long as my body allows. However, over the past several years I’ve been in a number of situations where a slip or a mistake guarantees the end of life as you knew it. Not only could it be considered foolish to even put oneself in such places (but we do, for various reasons), some of that stuff may be a younger man’s game. Maybe. Anyway, nothing wrong with re-evaluating such stuff as age steals a half a step.
Not a resort, but I’d love to check out the Chic Chocs. Probably never will though. Bohemia falls in that category, too. Silverton and Taos would be really cool, but the logistics on those aren’t great for a long weekend. Same for JH. I need to get to new areas in the PNW...Steven’s/Mission/Alpine Lakes Wilderness. I’d be thrilled to get back to Baker and Whistler/Blackcomb. Never been to Lake Louise/Sunshine Village. A trip back to do Zermatt properly is something we’d love to do as a family.
