Will you also ski like this 106-year-old Hungarian?

Lajos Bátori, a 106-year-old Hungarian man actively skies even today, and he enjoys every moment of it. He also revealed the three secrets of long life, Origo.hu told.

There is a spot next to Hotel Crystal Mountain in Michigan where even the manager of the hotel is not allowed to park. It is only Lou Bátori, who can park his car there. The old man, at the age of 100 years, was entitled to use a free parking place.

The locals and the staff are fond of the old man, but his story is spreading in the whole world, too: at the age of 106, he is still actively doing sport. One nice February day he decided to put on his skis and in a yellow ski dress, seeming brand new, he set off the hill.

“Everyone loves Lou”, says Brian Lawson PR manager of Crystal Mountain, who believes that the old man’s performance is really inspiring. “Being active at his age is fantastic indeed. Those who know him love him really much, because he is pleasant company, and we are glad having him among us”, he added. At the age of 10, he climbed the first mountain in Transylvania, and when he was 16, he started skiing.

Origo.hu writes that Mr. Bátori moved to the United States in 1929 where he had been working at a research institute for 15 years. In 1944, his father fled to the US from Hungary because of the war and got his son to launch a company together. They were producing aids for counting made of paper, but when the first calculators appeared in the middle of the 60s, Lou decided to work as an engineer again.
