Life According to... Klaus Obermeyer, Skier
Posted by: Lisa Sinclair in snowsports on Nov 22, 2010

I had the opportunity to meet the legend, Klaus Obermeyer, at the Ski Industry show yesterday. He turned 90 last month! I asked him how many days he was going to ski this year and he said "every day, my office is 5 minutes from the lift and I plan to ski every day I can". Pretty inspirational and an amazing example of longevity, most likely due to a lifetime of daily fitness and cognitive vitality!
Here's a quick story about him, but if you didn't know he invented the down parka and the ski sweater as well as many other things that today every ski company makes their own version of.
