Elderly Couple Could Set Guinness World Record

BoarderGuy May 14, 2008

Recently, Lindy Burdet and Heinz Fischer made a skiing holiday to the North Pole. As Burdet says in an article at KOAA Online, they didn't even know they could be setting a World Record until their guide happened to mention it. At 76 and 79 respectively, Burdet and Fischer could be the oldest couple to have skied to the North Pole, a new Guinness World Record.

Wouldn't you love to be as active as this couple in your seventies, suffering the frigid bite of the arctic wind to ski over miles of ice-ridden wasteland? If I'm still able to strap on my board or skis at the age of 76, I will be VERY pleased with myself!

What do you think?

Thought the Season was Over?

BoarderGuy May 9, 2008

Don't pack up your skis and boards just yet snow fans, it appears that ski season just got a whole lot longer in Great Blakenham, Suffolk, England. According to the Eastern Daily Press Business Online, there's a new type of resort coming to town that could extend the ski season indefinitely.

In order to escape the fickle tides of weather, SnOasis is set to be the largest indoor ski facility in Europe. It will feature Europe's longest indoor ski slope, as well as a variety of other winter sport activities.

I guess it just goes to show that some people just can't accept the end of ski season, and we should thank them for their ingenuity.
