I'm from Africa. Heat, desert, lions, elephants, etc... I'm going skiing NEXT WEEK!!!! Yahoooo! I never see snow and can't ski AT ALL... Thanks for this. I will be the man on the snow getting in everyone's way. Apologies to all in advance.

I just tried skiing for the first time today, I followed everything you said, and I was surprised by how effective all the tips are. I thank you forever! Love from japan!

This is genuinely such a good beginner video. I’ve never watched an entire video for over 15mins with such interest. You have a very calming tutor style, I bet you’d be great to learn from

Who else in these comments has been skiing for years and just wanted to see what kinda tips he has

You have saved my life

Jeez, European ski resorts must be lit

Idk why mastering the timing of the chairlift is harder than skiing to me.

To all you beginners out there.It is all about putting the weight from one leg to the other so you can turn left or right in the "v" formation.Never forget that.If you know how to do that,the parallel skiing will come natural with time.

This is the best "short" beginners tutorial I've seen. Love this stuff. I'm not new but the quality of these videos are too good not to watch.

I've been skiing for years, but this video is great, every skier should see it.

I'm from Brazil and I have never seeing snow before last weekend. I went to ski knowing nothing, I just watched your videos and was incredible!!! In 2 hours I was able to ski the beginners slope!!! I followed your tips and was perfect!! Thank you very much for all the learning!!!

I watched this video and I thought I will be the guy yelling to all beginner: get out my way!” Then I spent 7 hours to learn how to fall down and get up .

i'm like the only one who really can't ski here

just went skiing for the first time and had a traumatic time...the instructor didn't have very good English to teach me and I nearly killed myself because I couldn't stop or turn...pretty much cried the whole day and fell numerous times which scared me because my leg would twist in unnatural ways! the feeling of losing control of my speed on a crowded steep slope and unable to stop felt similar to driving a car on a busy road with no brakes! horrifying! I still want to try again because everyone seems to love it once they master it and I want to feel that way too, lol

people who havent gone skiing yet, i wanna let you know that its much easier that roller blades..at least for me

I can’t thank you enough for this video! My boyfriend invited me on a ski trip this weekend and I told him it was my first time! Knowing he would have complete confidence in my ability to “wing it” I figured I should watch a video to at least get the basics and boy am I glad I did! We got to the mountain and the only pointers that I got from him were, “if you wanna stop, do pizza…” I have never skiied in my life so I’m guessing he assumed I knew what that was! Then he proceeded to tell me we were going down a green, which in itself was scary bc why wouldn’t he start me on the bunny slopes, huh? Who knows. Anyway, I fell a couple times and was a little scared bc it was my first time (like I said before). Anyway fast forward 6 hours, we go down that first green again and I am once again traumatized a bit, which I found weird bc I did that one first….. only to find out it was a BLUE. He took me down a blue the first time with no instructions so I cannot thank you enough for this 17 minute video, because frankly without it, I would’ve died- or if I managed to get down the mountain in one piece, I would’ve murdered my boyfriend. Anyways, thanks so much for this video! It was truly a lifesaver! Cheers!!!

I already know how to ski, but I still enjoyed watching this :D Keep it up!

Im a good skiier idk why im here but good luck for new people dont worry its not too difficult

I actually snowboard, but my friends and I are doing a “switch day” where we all switch. This was helpful

I'm a brazilian who's never seen snow. And I literally had tears roll over my face by watching this. Such a dream. Hopefully I'll live in a place like that in a couple of years from now. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍⛄❄❄❄☃⛇ P.S. This is my first video from the channel and I'm guessing I'm already a hardcore fan. 😎

I am going skiing soon and I am half excited half scared this video is like a life saver now I just hope I don’t forget any of this information

Its a lot harder to learn how to ski when the place you go to is pretty crowded but this vid will definitely help next time

I'm an "advanced beginner" skier for over 20 years. I still learned something new with this video. Thank you for posting this.

Good tips. The one tip that someone told me that saved me, was to turn your chest toward the direction you want to go. If you turn your upper body first, your feet follow naturally.

I used this video during my first ski trip at Lake Placid... let me warn all beginners by saying that no matter how much videos you watch, if you don’t go out there and fall a bunch- you’ll never learn. I am sore, my bum is sore and my back and knees are a little banged up, BUT IT WAS FUN! Keep at it and don’t give up. I’ll be now taking a yearly ski trip after just 2 days of skiing. Thanks for the vid! It definitely was helpful

You seem like such a chill guy, would love to ski with you some day!

I haven’t skied in about a year so I lost the feel of it and am probably gonna be uncomfortable but this vid helped me to remember how it feels again. Thank you!

I am going on a ski trip with my school and ive never skied before and I'm sooo exited!

I literally learned how to ski from this video. First time skiing and did not fall once ! Truly amazing video. Thanks !

Always learn something new from this Guy. Love it.

Went skiing for the first time in my life today... the instructor was suprised how quick I picked it up, but secretly i watched videos like this a 100 times lol - so thanks! really helpful video.

I’m still a beginner and I come back to this video every now and then to remind myself of the basics. Such great tips for a beginner!

This has been wonderfully helpful. Your videos are brilliant. Just took to the kids slope with the family in Levi, Lapland. All skiing for the first time. We were (or I was) on the deck more times than not but all thought it was absolutely amazing!!! Onwards and upwards. Really excited to be learning a new sport/hobby as I enter my 50’s in the next few years. Best wishes from Scotland 😎

Thank you!! I am a beginner skier and watched this video before I hit the slopes today. It gave me a lot of confidence and I improved and had fun!

This video is great, but can we take a second to give an applause to the CAMERA MAN!?? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼📹

I’ve been skiing since I was 3 or 4 years old. I just clicked this because I’m bored and daydreaming about winter. There is definitely some good advice here !

Terrific, going skiing for the first time in a few years tomorrow, this was really helpful to boosting my confidence for tomorrow! Thank you!

I watched this before my first set of ski lessons and I remembered most of them really well and helped me 100%! Spot on information!

Best instructional novice ski video I’ve ever seen. Great for our kids who are starting this week

got my first day of skiing at silver mountain towards the end of last season. met an awesome instructor on his day off who showed me the ropes. this is a perfect recap of everything he told me and a couple things he didn’t have time to. great video, cannot wait to get back on the slopes

I am an absolute beginner, I find it really good for very very useful, easy to understand and clear,so encouraging

I literally experienced everything in this video on my first time skiing and it was a little bit overwhelming. Great video.

i went skiing when i was a lot younger, and this is like a crash course from my skii professor. Thank you for making such a professional, instructional, clear video. I think this will save me a lot of money for when i get back into it, and need some refresher

thank you so much for sharing this video. I cannot tell you how much your tips have helped me to go from wedge turns to parallel turns in short order. The last part of your video where you say "this up and down movement is crucial...", yes indeed, that was what finally brought it all together for me. It's that movement that releases the pressure of the controlling ski edge and allows me to turn. On my 4th trip (ever) to the slopes I was able to short turn down black diamond slopes while keeping fairly good balance. It's not pretty but I can go down the slopes with high confidence that i'm not going to tumble or run into other skiers.

this was the most magical and in-depth video I could have ever watched...and you posted it on my birthday ^_^ thanks a lot for sharing!!

I'm not anymore a beginner but is so usefull to watch it! really nice! Thanks!

First time i tried ski and it was fantastic!!! I couldnt believe how good i was becoming by making practice! Your advice are really helpfull!

Thanks. Havent been skiing for 18 Years now, I will give it a try this season - but with a ski instructor of course. Nice introduction video, i hope it helped me prepare myself a little for the skiing course.

I've been skiing for the first time recently and being a crazy guy 😂 I went on the hardest blue slope , I was thinking , well I will be alright. On the first steeper slope, crushed 😂 badly, my confidence droped to 0 I bearly could stand. After a few hundred meters and duzins of falls one guy stoped and helped me , he basicaly teached me in one run all in this video, I am very gratefull, and from that time I didn't even fall anymore. Was amazing! Nice video btw 😁

The best ski for beginner vid I have ever seen, bar none.

I saw your recent video on learning to ski, but this video is by far the best. The way you describes things is much easier to follow, the hip movement, bow tie, they are good but not as effective as learning from this. Also, I learned more from this video than from a ski instructor I had.

Went skiing for the first time yesterday on Mt Hermon and i managed to do the hard (red) course easily thanks to you! I started with the medium (blue) track amd long skis and fell a few times. After 4 rounds I switched to snow blades (sorry skis) and wow it was so easy to control! Didn't manage to do the plowing technique (called pizza here) but parallel slaloms and drifting were a breeze! Went to the top after a few successful runs on the medium. It was a perfect snow(powdery) clear sky hot day (4-10 C) i was a bit over dressed though. Thank you!

I am going skiing for Christmas so thank you for these tips

I’m going skiing for my first time ever in 2 days and this video hit the spot. I feel a little calmer now. My goal is to still go to the beginner lessons too. Wish me luck, I’m excited!

Thank you! Making my 3rd trip to the slopes. 1st 2 trips were 3 years ago... so your refresher was great.

I'm going skiing for the very first time next weekend and I'm super stressed but very excited as well! this video will definitely help be when the day comes! thank you!

I know there is one skill I am definitely gonna use again and again. Skill 6, at 7:03! Great job explaining the beginner skills

I'm going skiing tomorrow and this is my prep... Enjoy your life !!!

I went skiing for the first time in my life yesterday and we got a dope instructor, he thought how to fall properly(sit down on your skis and slowly lay down) how to stand up, whitch was simmilar to what you showed but without the sticks, you had to sit on you skiis first and then use your knees and boots to stand up whitch required 0 effort, then he thought how to snow plow and once I got it down, we had learned everything in 1 hour, over the next 2 hours I fell only 1 time because I was heading into the ski lift whitch was on the same level and didn't know how to turn at that point. Later I learned it and it was the most fun I've had in my life even tried doing some jumps and fancier turns whitch nearly got me hitting the ground but survived :) all around good experiences for skiing.

You save my life! Thanks for the very clear explanation on how skiing work.

I went to Park City, Utah, recently, and skied for the first time in 50+ years. I was a beginner 50 years ago, and I still am. Your video gave me confidence, though, and I had a LOT of fun. One procedure gave me some trouble, however, and even with practice back at the house, I found it very difficult. It was getting back up when I fell. I’m actually pretty flexible, and even strong. But, the stiffness of the boots prevented me from getting far enough over my feet to move forward and ultimately back up. We’re returning to Utah again next year and maybe I’ll figure it out by then. 😋

I watched this video 24 hrs prior to a ski trip. Nothing replaces the experience of snow under the skis however, this video helped me so much. Cheers and thanks for the information and great tutorial.

I learned so much the first time I watched it and now I'm in a skiing teem

Thank you for introducing new people to our beautiful sport! I’ve been skiing since i was very young and i enjoy every second on the mountain! To anyone watching this, i hope that you will enjoy your time as well! At first skiing may be hard but you can and will learn!

Shown my two sons 10yo and 7yo your video. They are going skiing for the first time in 3 months. You are a great instructor, very clear instructions and logical progression. This video has been a great help. Thank you.

Great advise on rising before you engage your parallel turn.

Im 12 years old (11 at the time) and learned to ski red slopes in 2 days while it was my first time! This really helps out my tip is to start with plowing on easy slopes and Then try to bring the skis together like he Said in Every turn and then try to go faster. I even had a knee injury at this time so it was hard to get up if I fell but just keep practicing and you will get it! Sorry if my English isn’t that good I’m European so English is not my native language.

This video is SO GOOD. Just got back from my first time on the slopes in 10 years - wish I’d seen this video first! Super pumped to go back!!

Thanks for this video. I’ve always been a snowboarder and a recovering broken ankle has me strongly considering skis. Very helpful vid.

Never hurts to come back to re learn the fundamentals. Skied for my first time in 15 years today . Surprisingly it went well with the conditions of the piste but feel I need a bit of work to get back to where I was. Felt great to be back out again!!

From a standpoint of a ski coach I have to say that was a pretty okay demonstration with a few exceptions. For example it's really easy to figure out turns on carving skis because they will practically do all the work for you. It's all about the way you transfer your weight from ski to ski. You don't have to do anything with the skis manually because once you transfer your body weight from ski to ski, they'll do that for you automatically. From then it's really easy. One more thing I noticed - your body weight is not just going from one ski to the other in the turns but also you are pushing on the front of your ski boots, on your shins essentially. That's also gonna make the movement easier and give you more stability in the turns. Same thing applies when doing the snow plough. To put that into perspective, when you are squatting, your knees should be in line with your toes and you just push your butt down and your back is straight,. You don't do that on the skis, you have to push your shins forward so your body will go lower and no straight back and pushed out butt. It's almost like an opposite movement to squats.

ok just got all the way to the end! Yewoow!! Very Highly Recommended!

I just want to say thank you. I had a ligament surgery last year and this year I went skiing. I followed all the technic and skilled that you showed in this video and I felt very confident and comfortable skiing I was doing turn and all that in day one. So thank you for this amazing lesson

Going to ski tomorrow and I am so excited! Thanks a ton friend!

Thanks, I haven't skied for 3 years, and this is the first time I'm going with my school, so I have to do lessons. I've never done lessons before, so I feel like I'm gonna be the only one not falling directions, and falling on my butt., and failing. I'm going to be in group 2, so I'm kinda nervous, but I want to be with my friends. The things that you taught in the video will help me a lot. Thank you!

I'm going skiing for a week on Saturday, wish me luck

You perfectly explained it. I had an hour with an instructor who chased me down a blue slope, but you really told about the things the ski actually does with you! I will memorize your video when I will try skiing this winter,! Great tips and explanations!

Going skiing for the first time (apart from my 3y.o. self) next weekend & this video helped thank you! ❤

Mate! I just got back from Meribel, I went away with my girlfriend who's been skiing every Christmas since before she was conceived. I spent all of my money on beer and plane tickets to the Alps (mostly beer) so had no money for lessons. I watched this video the day before I left and again on the slopes, I went from the bumbling idiot in children's yeti village slope in the snow plough to slightly less bumbling idiot in the blue runs skiing in parallel all thanks to your video, (and lots of perseverance.. I lost count the times of falling over) this was in just two days. already looking to go back (what mountain do you film on?) and next time less beer more lessons... thanks!!!!

Hi love this

Love this! Ive been skiing since i was 2 and kinda cool seeing someone «learn» me this again after beeing thought by my dad 10 years ago

ok i just want to say that this was probably the best video to tutorial i have ever seen. he has put so much effort into this video and i just wanted it to never end. Just fantastic. Keep it up bro

"Was it traumatic? Yes it was"

Dude, I finally went skiing (first time was in Feb 2020, second time was last week) and this video is the reason why I was immediatly able to link some turns and and not entirely fail at a red slope! Thank you!! Since it was a ski tour, I only had two runs, but I hope to do more over the course of the winter - ski-touring or with a lift, depending on the situation. I'm so hyped!

Thanks so much! I watched this before going skiing for the first time with some friends, and it really helped them out when I had a basic idea about everything.

I watched this video yesterday and went skiing for the first time today! I had so much fun! Your video was very very helpful! Thank you!

I went for the first time today It’s pretty easy to pick up on if you have ice hockey experience

I'm going skiing for the first time in my life this coming weekend, I'm excited but nervous! ^.^"

I've been inline skating for a few months and was looking for a few hints, tips, tricks to get me going! Solid video, very inlightning👍💯

Thank you so much for this. I'm at les arcs at the moment, but I didn't have any confidence at all and was having panic attacks. When I quit for the day yesterday - granted very early, I watched this and it made me so much more confident for today.

I watched this video one week before I went on wintersport for the first time and it took me literally less than 5 minutes to learn how to ski. Thanks to you I could go to the red and black slope right away!

Fantastic thanks for this! =)

Ive been snowboarding for a few years but was not good at it. I tried skiing for the first time yesterday and it was amazing. My body naturally did what he recommended but he explained it so well. Great video mate!

Thanks so much for the video. I think this was the best video I have seen for skiing tips for beginners. Especially how to get up, carry skis, and put on boots. Ski instructors are booked this week on spring break and I have to teach my kids and wife. Great tips for me to show them.

mate.. thank you. I have been roller and quad skating only....and that was 25 years ago. i watched this 10 times so i will not forget any of it while i am on spot. I will tell you guys how its gonna go next week...but this is a really great introduction. on the other hand: you could have been a great teacher. you make it sound so relaxing and the way you build up the explanation is also entertaining. I am saying this as a professional. I constantly train people and hold presentations in my line of work. allow me to give you one small advice. You should take averagely 1 second pauses between sentences and avg. 3 second pauses between paragraphs. This will help attendants absorb and process information 5x faster. bottom line...thumbs up... i would give you 100 likes if i could. THANKS MAN! :)

I am going skiing for the first time ever today and watched this for a bit of advice, thank you for the tips and I'll be sure to keep them all in mind as I ski today! ^_^

Brilliant video. The best i have seen on skiing. You have power packed so many details that aome one can do for weeks not just the first day.

This is GREAT demo for the first time skiers. I took my son, Benjamin, to ski yesterday and basically this what I told him from the beginning to end. I just forwarded this to him for review. Thank you the video.

haven't skied for 2 years and now i really wanna go..
