“THE FRENCHY”

JACQUES HOUOT, 82-YEAR OLD FRENCH SKI RACER AND COLORADO MOUNTAIN BIKER
This is the story of 82-year old French snow / ski racer and mountain biker, Jacques Houot , who is a local legend as an age-defying athlete and an incorrigible flirt. Houot has survived some two dozen close calls with death, including avalanches, cancer, car accidents, a heart attack, drowning and even attempted murder. Frenchy inspires us to stay positive today.
