Ha, Very Nice! :yourock:
But, I've been thinking again :rolleyes2

The ELDER MAGGOT...
Well, that must be whoever was the first to suggest moving over to TGR from PowderMag, yeh? Or an early poster on Powdermag?

Or whoever has the earliest Join date here?

I have a fear it might just be SuPu :eek: :nonono2: :frown:

Meh, immature is just a word that the rapidly dying call the slowly dying. :wink:

At 43 I am probably the oldest gurl here. But I started skiing late. And as far as an "elder" if that implies wisdom, look elsewhere because I'm not sure what I dispense is all that wise.

I LOVE that photo btw...hope you have that up & framed!

This is such a great shot. I couldn't fight the urge to optimize and level it.
Are you and your sister (I'm assuming that's your sister) actually lashed to the skis here? Mom must have been a strong skier.

Guess again, lil sister! I am 44. Is there a gurl here older than me? I've always wondered 'bout that. I learned to ski in 1968, 40 years ago. Mom's got some old ski pics of all of us, but none as nice as BakerBunny's. Love that shot.

Anyway, I'm too new to TGR to be an elder in any kind of way...I kinda like it like that. ;)

Youre not 44, I'm going to guess 38

That photo completely kicks ass!
The binders look like some kind of early series Silveretta.
And just think how comfy those boots would be. You could easilly outstride everyone on the uptrack.
I think those straps on the kids feet are kinda like a gator type deal & part of the wollies on the one, not binded to the ski. Not too long ago even nylon type ski pants had some under foot thing. That stuff I remember worked great for keeping the snow out when post holing.
Primo! I wanna be Bakerbunny when I grow up.

Funny thing about the poll thread Turk linked is now most everyone is a notch up in catagory. :)

We called them "bear traps". Basically a piece of angle iron with a toe strap. Your fibia was the release mechanism. :eek:

BTW, thanks to everybody for the vibes in this thread! Funny thing is, they had a thread about like this on Epic Ski

... wait for it ...

... and I was the youngest one there! :biggrin::biggrin:

:confused: I think it looked much the same to me.
(But I did get weirded out by it, back then. I clicked on the Results, and found myself already there :eek: I guess the act of clicking added me in)

Oh yeh, according to said Poll, BakerBunny might have some competition for that Crown. From the Oldest Category:

Owens took down the original board and started this one in 2001, so no member shows a signup date earlier than that. There were people here (actually, there) before that, though.

What does this mean? Seems to be a contradiction in terms.

I vaguely remember existing before I discovered floating through the whiteness, don't really think of it as living.

I am not old, definitely not wise, but I did issue forth onto the world the same year as this beauty.

While I'm not the eldest of the elders, I'm certainly not leading the youth parade.

I very well might be the oldest gurl skier here. I'm 53, but didn't learn to ski until I was 46 so you beat me on number of years skiing.

I'm not the oldest, though I may look like it. I've lived a hard life. :D (All that smoking, drugs, drinking, & STDs)

Each year I'm still getting faster uphill & downhill on skis and MTBs, so age doesn't seem to matter at all. I do like to hang out with you young bucks because all my friends my age are stuck in their Lazy Boys most of the time.

I <heart> this thread. For almost two pages I was kind of worried that the answer was me. But no.
