Clay McD,
Think about taking up paddle boarding or surfing to replace snow skiing. Many of the late 30's and early 40's aged folks around here have taken up both. A lot of paddle boarding and kayaking all over lower Southeast. Sitkan's enjoy the surfing and Yakutat is a world famous surfing spot these days. If you get really home sick for skiing, hop on the ferry and head down to BC for weekend of snow skiing.
