Bruce McGavin has a 78-year-long skiing habit.
McGavin, 83, is now a member of the Rocky Mountain Seniors Ski Club, and his daughter, Cheryl Doucet, is now a member too.
The ski club, a non-profit based in Edmonton, promotes affordable alpine skiing for anyone at any skill level, from bunny hill to black run.
There's just one restriction: You have to be at least 55 years old, the CBC's John Robertson reports from Snow Valley.
