Turning 90 means taking a run down the slopes of Massanutten Ski Resort near Harrisonburg, VA, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports:
For his birthday, Bill Egelhoff pulled on his helmet, goggles and jacket, stepped into his skis and glided down a mountain.
Not a bad way to celebrate turning 90.
“There’s really something spiritual about skiing,” said Egelhoff, a retired Episcopal minister, among other jobs he’s held. “It’s hard to identify and hard to explain, but it’s a feeling of being with nature and, in a sense, being with God.
“Getting up on top of the mountain is almost like being in heaven and looking down on Earth. It’s just a wonderful feeling.”
