“I just always have loved the outdoors and appreciate what mother nature has done for us. Look here at the conditions, look at the people, how they’re smiling, that’s what’s so great about teaching skiing.” –Otto Ross
Further proof that skiing may in fact be the fountain of youth. Case in point, ski instructor Otto Ross who is still teaching at the ripe old age of 97. KING5 reports Otto began teaching at Washington State’s Mission Ridge Ski Resort when it opened back in 1966. Since then he has taught skiing around globe but eventually landed back home where he has become a local legend. Ross even has a magic carpet named after him…The Ottobahn. This guy is simply incredible.
