Hats off to Snowbird and ski industry legend 95 year old Junior Bounous who became the oldest person to helicopter ski on Monday.

“It was beyond belief to have a day like this. I stand here and I feel so sentimental that it’s almost hard to talk about. It was such a special day that was never anticipated or expected.” –Junior Bounous

He was born on Aug. 24, 1925 in Provo, Utah The Bounous family submitted the new record to Guinness World Record. The previous heli skiing age record holder was 94 and 306 days old.
