Mammoth Mountain founder Dave McCoy, 94, is one of the world’s best examples of how to live life well. In his nearly century of life he has never stopped learning and trying new things.
He was the first to promote mountain biking at a ski resort, raced motocross well into his 80s, skied into his 90s, and most recently has taken up photography after friends gave him a digital camera, according to a story in the LA Times.
At 94, McCoy has archived hundreds of thousands of photographs in his home computer, which is connected to a 52-inch flat-screen television monitor used to critique and manipulate the images. . . . A tireless shutterbug, he prowls the Eastern Sierra’s 5,000 miles of backcountry roads several days each week on an all-terrain vehicle known as a Rhino, toting an array of sophisticated cameras he calls “my six-shooters.”
He is and always has been a great, gracious, and generous man. And we’re glad he’s still getting it done.
