101 Year-Old Skier - George Jedenoff - The Optimist

[@richieboy6700]

George, you are such an inspiration to me and I suspect many, many others. I am 71, still skiing relatively aggressively and I feel like I'm 50. When I think about skiing when I'm 100 (or older), I think no way. But watching you just makes me giddy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@georgeswain1244]

Well done Richie Boy, you and George keep lighting the path!

[@Granddpasoffice]

At 77 I'm 50 years into the sport. You have inspired me to keep buckling-up.

[@alvarojneto]

35, only now getting into it. Jealous already of your longevity

[@BenjaminDupont-q9l]

Happy 106th Birthday, George. You are a huge inspiration in my life.

[@zebipbamboom6982]

I gotta admit this has moved me. I'm 59, and I've been skiing since I was a little kid. 2 years ago I crashed and broke my pelvis skiing. 6 weeks ago I had a hip replacement because of that injury. I was starting to tell myself I should just do something else than ski from now on. You've made me think again. Thanks George!

[@MrSchmidt22]

I hope that I can live to shred as long as he has been on the mountain, and is still going strong!

[@alexandrbalaganov8021]

George, Best wishes from Russia. Hope to see your video next winter.

[@pat0803060803]

We are big fans of George Jedenoff and would like to know how is he doing, and wish him a VERY HAPPY 107 th BIRTHDAY!!❤ YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION, GEORGE! WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR THIS NEW YEAR!! Warmest regards from Austria 🇦🇹🇱🇷

[@cristophershvarcepox5409]

Hi, Mr.Jedenoff. Pls, accept our admiration from the Alpine Masters club of St.Petersburg, Russia. Hope to watch your videos for many years. Personally I'm 70+ and now I see that hard training needed as soon as 30 years are ahead. Thank you for your perfect skiing.

[@beactivetribe]

What an amazing guy! May he live a long, happy and healthy life :)

[@allornothing432]

Donna Douglas ehhh he already has - LOL

[@GraceBennett-r4z]

George, you are fantastic! At a mere 67 I look to you as a role model and example of great living. Keep skiing my hero!

[@margaretfranklin828]

This man is absolutely amazing! an inspiration to us all!

[@maddoxomeara]

By now he is probably 102! Keep going George!

[@mdivine5644]

So many life "gurus" on YT and this gentleman summed it all up in five minutes. Keep going, stay optimistic, be disciplined and help others. ❤️

[@deenobrown1]

I’m so glad George is still rockin. I’ve been watching his videos for the last few years and I’ve been waiting patiently for an update. Well here it is and I’m so happy to see him skiing again! Keep enjoying life!

[@ermin3963]

This has brought tears to my eyes! I will download this video and keep it forever as a reminder and motivation. I started skiing when I was 3 years old. Now I am 39. It makes me feel good to know that if I do the right things that you said, I might be like you one day. I wish you many happy years of skiing George. I forwarded this to my dad who is 70. He is a hardcore skier just like you. This video will be a great motivation for him too, I am sure.

[@skiutah]

We hope you and your father are able to ski together until he is George's age!

[@ermin3963]

@@skiutah Thank you very much! :) We are going to do our best to make it happen. Only if I can make him exercise like Mr. Jedenoff haha. Btw, we both enjoyed skiing in Utah. I visited SLC twice and I skied Park City, Deer Valley and Alta. Beautiful mountains you got there!

[@cheese8912]

Skiing so incredibly healthy for you

[@mtnman6557]

George is a really wise & cool man; it's been a privilege to hear his story & watch him skiing the mountains he loves.

[@GorskiNunavut]

A great story about, how to live. Aren't we lucky,to have a chance to hear it from someone, in time when it seems that this type of people are gone from our planet for good!

[@popocici]

Amazing. I hope he is still well.

[@Golfjunkee69]

That is AWESOME! I want o be like George when I grow up!

[@skiutah]

we do too!

[@jasonholmes1621]

George You are an inspiration for a sixty year old whipper snapper returning to the snow after life getting in the way What better way is there to keep active and stay positive about life Keep smiling 👍

[@alexkhuri3967]

People like this make the sport everything that it is. Don't waste a moment.

[@kathleenmalik9379]

George's life-long happiness principles are an inspiration for everyone! My hero. GO GEORGE GO!!!

[@davidpetis9900]

He's shredding the pow god damn nice!

[@BYOTools]

Amazing!!!! Love this guy and his mindset.

[@skiutah]

100% !

[@DeepSpaceBass1]

25 years of free season passes, damn that's heaven

[@encubist]

George, this is just what I was searching for to give me inspiration. I am almost 70, and still trying to keep active with my skiing, and then I see you! Fantastic! I love your technique and had those same exact Salomon rear-entry boots about 30-40 years ago myself - best boot I ever had. My knees, back, etc. still seem good, so I should also do some exercise sets everyday like you to keep in shape. I still love the double-diamonds and hope I do not hurt myself, but will keep at it as long as I can.

[@mirabhattacharya8474]

God bless George!

[@pearldiver7]

How can you not love George? A true inspiration. Thank you George. And thank you skiing for the best part of life.

[@Federer935]

George - you are my life role model. Way to go -I'm following! Thanks for posting - keep skiing!

[@LolaBalletAndFigureSkate]

George is AWESOME! I can only hope I live as long as you and I also keep skiing all the way, since I adore skiing!!

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

George is still going strong at 106. We wish him a very happy 107th on July 6 2024!

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

[@DaraSportsPT]

[@TheBigCrabber]

That exercise bike is as old as him and I love it 😂 Also "the you can ski" hell yeah brother. ANY DAYS A GOOD DAY

[@drhandle4498]

I started learning to ski in my mid-50s; I want to be like this bloke. If I can ski that well by the time I'm 60, I will be over the moon.

[@vincechu3127]

So cool man!😎 Keep on keeping on 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻

[@SnootchieBootchies27]

Alright, dude made me laugh when he said "your plumbing goes bad". What a legend!

[@nosondre]

Love you George!

[@hanslain9729]

You're an inspiration, George! Way to get after it! and... Nick Bowling! He taught me to fly RC air planes at Fern Prairie Modelers Field about ten years back! Real nice person.

[@vlesmeries]

What an inspiration.

[@mrspunk61]

Fantastic!!

[@alexful2]

Do you know when did George start skiing?

[@Rocadog]

Inspirational!

[@opensourcecurrency]

His form is quite good- especially on the groomers. It's not just the exercise routine that allows him to ski at 101, it's good technque.

[@stevestegman8181]

George took lessons in the early 60’s from Alf Engen, one of the truly great skiers, instructors, and promoters of skiing since the late 1930’s. I believe Alf actually designed the trails at not only Alta, but Snowbird and many other resorts as well.

[@aal2206]

You are incredible.

[@BramskiVlogs]

Keep going dude!!

[@nosondre]

When eight hundred years I reach, ski as good I will not.

[@keilahnifreedman7695]

This is so beautiful, this is such an amazing inspiration not just for skiers but for everyone. In Jesus Christ name I pray you all have a beautiful life and keep doing your hobbies you have a passion for. Jeremiah 29:11

[@normferguson2769]

My wife’s great uncle Short stopped skiing at 90. That became my goal since I am now 66. I just need to do morning stretches to keep limber and not use skiing to get in shape to ski!

[@richardsaunders531]

3:22 "He's an optimist" hahaha

[@ingridka.8406]

♥

[@VictorAlenBE]

I hope he gets to make this year's vid!

[@StudentLankaTube]

[@Crazy-Roland-vDrums]

Thanks for the video - what's his height, & length of his skis? thanks!!

[@BrodiBarringer]

WOW is the only word I can think of..

[@mbrochh82]

[@CasualMTGDecks]

[@keishacotton4905]

[@redqueen5184]

My mom used to to have that same couch, we called it the nap couch cause that sucker is so comfortable it'll just knock you right out!

[@RogerDiotte]

[@richardsaunders531]

This guy was in his 20s during World War 2 😳

[@michaelatherton5761]

Rossi twin tips center mounted! Rocker is important for old people...safer.

[@redjetsen1002]

Those skis look good in the crud but on the hard pack? maybe old boards are better.

[@DopeForeverBeats]

Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (Jn 3:16" But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17)'

[@Fly-nO]

[@heymoe1179]

Age is just a number as was just proven by George. Throw away that LazyBoy chair.

[@jackepner9984]

I feel like problems can overweigh the good at 40 just dealing with bullshit with people and housing and work... When my body gets older... fuck it, I hope I'm dead before then (I'll even take this week...)
