Sounds like your problem is not the older gentleman with bad knees, its actually your company is more interested in skiing, zip lining, and drinking than it is in getting work done.
Work is for work, right?
If you create a "work culture" that defacto excludes protected class(es) (intentionally or not) without a legitimate business justification, you're breaking the law in the US. Sounds like this is what is happening, in this case the protected classes are age > 40 and disability status. You should take a break from the "canyoneering" and work on compliance.
It's also just bad business to limit yourself to hiring such a small subset of the population - people who are young, single, and bored enough to spend all their free time doing company activities.
