Mike's Story

Life Well, If anybody's interested, to paraphrase; "The only true success is to live your life in your own way." So far I've been able to do that and hopefully 30 more years to do the same. Janet,the love of my life died June '06 after being part of my life for 35 years. Our life owning a ski shop in Ruidoso and working the fish industry in Alaska wasn't exactly typical. Though rocky at times our relationship achieved the ultimate with Selina and Skye, our daughters, growing up into absolutely fantastic young ladies(and great skiers). Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I still ski 100+ days /year, though with both knees pretty well toast my orthoped is going to make a lot of money this next spring. Been there, done it, but looks like a repeat is due. At the end of Salmon season this August I returned to Argentina and Chile to ski for 5 weeks. Wow! pretty much summed it up. By the end of my vacation I realized that surgery is necessary if I'm to continue doing...Expand for more
what I love. I never did get rich, but my daughters agree that this lifestyle did more for us than a ****load of money would have. Seeing as how my mom skied till 78, I'm definitely looking forward to an early retirement so that I can continue the family tradition. Being a Dad first, a skier second, after that- whatever. MIKE ps- 2014 Now I'm totally retired from AK fisheries and living in central CO off season and still running my ski shop in Ruidoso,NM winters. Only got 90 days sking this year, last day at A Basin 6/20. One daughter skis CB 120 days a year and oldest has my 2 grandkids in Aurora. I ain't rich but out of debt and stress free. MY LIFE IS GOOD! Bit of an update, sold my commercial building and shut down my ski shop. Now totally retired. Currently finishing my totally off grid cabin in central CO. 5 miles out of Hartsel. I'll be skiing A Basin, Ski Cooper and Ski Apache this season and grandpaing in Aurora part time. Now LIFE IS REALLY GOOD!

I know that most folks prefer to make themselves look better on line. Well, at 70 this is reality. In my defense I do trim all my crazy hair come Spring. Also was just cleaning my chimney spark arrestor in 45 mph  winds. Ra
