Arapahoe Basin, CO – When she turned 90, Elsa Bailey celebrated her birthday schussing the slopes of Arapahoe Basin ski resort in Colorado. So, how could she top that when she turned 100?

By going skiing, of course!

Bailey, of Colorado Springs, began skiing 75 years ago in Stowe, Vt. Although now legally blind, she spent Saturday morning celebrating her century with friends at A-Basin and, naturally, skiing the resort’s Pika Place run before heading to a big party on The Perch.

“She’s quite an amazing lady, and we’re thrilled she’s at the mountain with us!” said a resort spokesperson.

“Congratulations Elsa,” added Alan Henceroth, Arapahoe Basin’s COO.  “You inspired a whole lot of people today.  Thank you.”

Happy birthday, Elsa! You rock.
