Episode 37 - Everesting at 80 | Jim Fisher
Manage episode 379388635 series 3254912
Most 80 year old men you find sitting comfortably in a recliner surrounded by their grandchildren telling stories of adventures long past. Jim Fisher is not one of those 80 year old men. Jim is still seeking adventures, still climbing mountains and still living his life to the fullest.
In 2021, 29029 Alumni Chuck Fisher invited his parents to climb with him in Snowbasin that year. Jim and Mary Fisher were 78 almost 79 years old when they pressed that red registration button.
Jim was an instant celebrity on the mountain. He was the source of a new kind of inspiration in our community. Jim was almost 80 years old but Jim was climbing.
He didn’t complain.
He didn’t stop.
We all watched in awe as he chatted and smiled his way step after step up and down those slopes.
2021 Snowbasin was a challenge for many reasons for Jim and when he left without a red hat a new fire burned inside of him. He had to come back. He needed to find his Everest.
And oh did he come back……..
In June 2022 at the start of our 29029 event season, we invited Jim to speak to our community on a special zoom call. Jim’s message and motivation is just too good not to share with the world.
We hope you are as inspired as we are by Jim Fisher. We hope his message resonates to help you keep climbing your own mountains and seeking out new summits whenever you can….regardless of the birthday you are celebrating this year!
