70 years old (Born on July 12, 1954)
Happy Birthday, Dave Irwin! From blazing down the slopes at lightning speed to conquering mountains with style, you've always been ahead of your time—literally. Who could forget that epic 1975 World Cup downhill victory? Rumor has it they're still trying to catch up!Your fearless runs in the '76 Innsbruck and '80 Lake Placid Olympics remain legendary. While others were busy perfecting their snowplow turns, you were already mastering gravity itself. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer gates and more cake—after all those years racing downhill, you've earned a smooth ride uphill from here on out!
