Klaus Obermeyer, at 100, swims and exercises every day so he can continue to do the thing he loves most—ski. A ski instructor at Aspen Mountain for many years beginning shortly after WWII, Klaus used his background as an aeronautical engineer to help design better skis, better poles and ski-adapted clothing.

His attitude toward life is inspiring: he believes in embracing our problems, in finding a way to love everything, to make being positive a daily commitment. Anything less, in his opinion, is simply could de-cheating ourselves. Klaus’ smile and happy energy are infectious--a day spent in his company would de-Grinch anyone.
