Life as a Ski Racer in College: 2019 Season
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 02. 2019
- Today I'm so excited to finally give you a peak inside my life as a member of the UO Alpine Club Ski Team! I started skiing when I was 15 years old, joined my High School ski team a year later, and caught the ski racing bug! Although I'm no where near olympic level, I feel so lucky to ski with such a positive and supportive team that has honestly become my family while at school.
Thanks for watching and see ya in the comments section!
xoxo, Kiara
P.S. Thank you SO much for 187.3K!!

Am I the only one who think it's so cool that your school and college have a ski team??
Andrea Rose ummm that’s kinda rude, some people don’t have the ability to ski
Abby Fried Eggs sorry ahaha- I actually wanted to say that it’s super cool Woops- Sorry!!
Andrea Rose omg I’m so sorry, I interpreted your comment the wrong way!

i was just wondering with all of this travel how does that work with your classes
Thanks for doing my request 😂😊
that is so cool love you
Wow this is so cool
Rebekah Jay thanks so much!! 💕
this is so pretty
vivian le I know the world never fails to surprise me 😊❤️
I wanna learn to snowboard, I just don't know where I can go snowboarding and how to get started.
Lol i just saw myself in your video. Also i was right behind you at the McCall race, i was bib 8, UW!
Ahh so cool!!
I live in Washington and I ski 🎿 and I love it!!!!!
Rebekah Jay so cool! What’s your favorite place to ski??
I like to ski at Stevens Pass by Leavenworth, WA
It is definitely interesting because I am from New England and I feel the ski level is a little different even tho all of you are better than me
łëø no joke, but the ski expectations in austria or Germany are way higher ... it’s not that easy to compete against the others because most of the ski racer are in a club called : Skikader,where only the best can be . They train often times in the week and for me , who’s only on a ski club , I can’t compete against them
Wish I could experience that maybe one day😁
Lyna Guido it’s seriously so fun 😊⛷
I also have a ski team at my junior high.
So fun!! ⛷💗
How did you get to be on the Oregon team??
I ski race in canada and this division of skiing seems so light
Hi Kiara, oh it's awesome! Kiss
Just wondering, did most people on your team start ski racing in high school or did some people start in college?
I started when I was 4
Probably varies a lot depending where you are, but up in Canada where Im from, I started ski racing when I was 11 and that was considered a later start where I lived. But I think some areas of the US are probably different, the race in this video looked more chill then what I was used to in U16 before I quite racing. Again it may be different but it was a massive commitment when I was racing, even at 16 I skied 5-6 days a week and had to miss a lot of school.
i’m early!
Ahh yay! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️
i ski too!
Ahh that's so cool!
hahahaha i live in spokane :) and i ski race at mt spokane love it
That's awesome! Love meeting other ski racers 💕
I got caught so off guard by the intro since I have been at white pass for over 20 days this year. I followed an Idaho ski team member into a run and he lost a ski after the first turn.
Hahah classic 😂🙈
The icier the better isn't it? I personaly always prefered the track to be as icy as possible when it came to slalom.
I mean if you have super good edges...I always get nervous and sit in the back seat on the ice though :/
@@KiaraMadisen I guess you are right about that. I had my edges done almost every time going into a slalom race mostly because I was going "too low" and if I didn't have that grip I would be dnf most of the times. :D Can you tell slalom wasn't my fave?
Nice vid. One question, are you guys in FIS or?
nope we are a club team at UO and we race against other club and D1 teams :) We are apart of USCSA not FIS
@@KiaraMadisen Thanks for explaining haha, the reason I'm asking is because I was thinking of skiing in UNI as well and I'm currently in FIS. You make nice videos BTW :)
Where are the ski racers and mountain lovers ?! ❤️🏔
#pow #snowlove
Im skiing since I’m 1 and a half , and I’m snowboarding since I’m 5. I’m in a ski club and my dad and my bigger sister are professional ski trainers so you can really call me mountain addicted 🤤
Reppin white pass in the intro!!?
What collage is that cause I’m in 8 th grade and I’m already looking for college
I go to the University of Oregon :)
Are you supposed to hit the little pole thingys 😂
I don’t know anything about skiing!!
I don’t know much about giant slalom (the one where the two poles are next to each other with fabric in between them), but in slalom (the one where it’s just poles, which are called gates) you are supposed to hit them! Basically, by hitting the gates instead of going around them completely, you travel a shorter distance, making your time much faster! (I hope this helps haha)
From angrypicnic ❤
As a ski racer the bottom of the run at 3:43 looks very easy. Just my opinion.
Haha yea some runs are easy 😂
WOW WHAT COLLAGE DO YOU GO TO
I left a comment a few months ago and what happened to it
Notice at time stamp 3:44 side stepping for stopping in snow.
I’m SO JEALOUS
When did you start skiing??
When I was 15 years old! And then I joined my high school ski team a year later :)
What is the thing your wear on your helmet by your chin?
hi! i know you probably wanted Kiara to answer this but figured i could help out. it's called a "chinbar" or "chinny". you wear it for slalom but not GS and it functions to protect your face from a gate. you also wear shinguards, which are also in the video to protect your shins when you shin a gate.
Ava Gule okay thanks...I honestly don’t care who answered it as long as I got an answer
I'm a highschool ski racer from New York
Ahh so cool! Enjoy every second! I miss high school racing!
what length are your skis?
my salmon skis are 155 and my gs skis are 171...I like my skis short lol
Which University is that?
imma ski racer from eugene :)))
meredith kate ahh so cool! Where do you guys train??
Kiara Madisen mt bachelor (mbsef)
You should consider freestyle skiing
omg I have been racing for so long that I cannot even imagine switching over 😂
Oregon is the best collage
agreed 😉💚💛
What is your favorite part of Skiing? ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Addison Swannack omg everything haha I’m just so happy on the mountain! I love making clean fast turns though 😊❄️⛷
2:18 to 2:30 how to Balance,stop,
