I give you credit to ski this difficult slope. I am 80 as well and going to Alta next February. Like you I will ski until I can no longer walk !

Just keep at it I guess.

Till we can’t.

I think I may be able to ski longer than I can walk, lol, although I am more confident I will keep snorkeling until they pull me out for the last time.

Skied that early 80s - we had to step over rock at the top. It looks worse than it is as the first slope just falls away without any break - used to be part of the 4 valley run - don't know if still the case . 70 years old now with two buggered knees but still remember it

I first skied it in '92. It is still the same..apart from the lift access...if I remember there was on old bubble going up from ruinettes and a single cable car where there is now the funispace...that might have been one my last runs down too..the left hip 😫

Mate I was jealous that your video got more views than mine but fair play, I love the comments, you’re a legend and hopefully I’ll get to ski with you if you’re back in Verbier again 💪

Thanks, Marty! Yeah, this one's gone a bit viral at the moment... just add "old man" to the title, and your video will take off 😂 Hopefully, back this winter, after some treatment on the hip🙏

I’ll make one called "blind man skis Tortin", see how I get on! Good luck with the hip 🤞. It’s snowed quite a bit up high here and they are opening the lifts on Saturday. Hopefully we have a snowy winter

An old fave...

Nicely done. Looks like a tough run, particularly with the hardpack. Skiing is life for some of us, isn't it, young or old (I fall into the later category myself, too.) Ha! Was that a burp at 5:37?

@mike520784 10 ай бұрын

Definitely was a burp! Hopefully, I can do some more ski runs this winter, but the injuries are mounting up!

@@mike520784 Ha! It added to the entertainment value of the video. Well done. Hope you're able to get on the boards this season for more. Good for the soul.

I hated Tortin! Spent a lot of the slope going down on my front. Fair play getting done it. If I coupd choose not to do it ever again it would be an easy choice. It wasnt pleasurable at all.

Need more turns dude…more control…this long side to side business is cringe! Use turns to control your speed.

Nicely done. Tortin can be horrible when it’s packed down and icy. I’ve heard that there’s an average 1 death each season on the Tortin which the 4 Valleés likes to keep 🤫 on. Well deserved chill out down the road run towards Siviez at the end!

Thanks. While in the bubble going up, I watched a faller slide all the way down and take out a skier standing and taking in the scene from behind. The skier never saw it coming!
