I had some photos taken of me (which hardly ever happens) while I was skiing powder at Alta last Friday. In looking at them, I had that deja vu feeling.
So I went back and looked at a photo taken twenty-some years ago and sure enough, I haven't changed much.
This first photo was taken in Feb of 1985 during the Grand National Powder 8 Championships on Cody Bowl in Jackson Hole. I'm the one in front:
And here I am in Greeley Bowl, Alta, last Friday, 11 years later: (Edited at the suggestion of a couple of you to correct my poor math and note that it was 22 years later, not 11. I'm embarrassed now. I've definitely crossed the senility threshold.)
In the old photo, I was wearing 204cm K2 712's. In the new one, I'm on 186cm Head iM88's. Other than that, it sure doesn't look like much has changed in the way I ski.
Like I said, old school.

:. Also, you look a bit brighter in the recent photo. That's what I call aging with grace.
