When do most of you think you can't ski anymore?

If you're disciplined enough to stay fit, passionate enough to stay motivated, and smart enough to ski within your limits you'll be able to ski park as long as you can walk.

The reality is that for most of you, you will get out of shape, your passion will fade, and the combined responsibilities of pursuing a career that pays your bills and looking after your family will have you leaving the park at least a couple of decades before your health compels you to do so.

 
I may not be hitting 60 foot tables when I'm 50, but my dad has dropped some pretty gnarly cliff lines in the past few years, and he's 54 now, so I sure hope I'll be slaying the backcountry when I'm into my 60s. My grandparents are in their mid 80s, and they still all make it onto the snow for 20+ days a year, so I just hope to be at that level then too.
 
well, im 35 and still progressing in park. but im from florida and never skied until i was 30, so i dont have years of knee trauma that most of you lifelong skiers do.

still chargin with my old ass tho. got threes dialed in last year, 270 out of rails too. gonna work on fives this season. /claim
 
^ 30 here... and I'm more addicted to park than ever. I stay in shape religiously and the only thing that's a problem is that i've broken my thumbs multiple times.

Plus, had a seperated shoulder last year. I prefer good size booters over rails, but I slide rails too...... I have no intention of stopping until I get seriously hurt.
 
I can say I'm 25 now, and still skiing more often, harder and still progressing faster then at any point of my life. I can also safely say I am stronger and healthier at my age now, then I was from the age 16 till now.

I will probably stop skiing as hard in the park a few years from now. However I plan to keep progressing my big mountain riding well into my 30's.

No matter what, I'm a skier for life.
