    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

      oh i remember my first time 12 years ago, i was a young kid and i was stubborn, i went on the black diamond for the first time without instructions. Humble brag but i pick up on this pretty easily, not that time. I fell probably 50 times until i got down, tried again the next day it was easier and so on, then tried a green run and it was easy as fuck didn't want to go, and i realized that i needed training, so next two years i was in a skii school starting every november of course, and it took some time to master the upside V stop format and then the double II on the side with the skies, it's best to go to the native country (Where you're from) and learn from another foreign country. It's going to be hard but hey, it's the greatest sport of all time.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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!!

    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. 😋

      just wondering, does advanced beginner mean that you are beginning to become advanced, or you are a beginner but almost intermediate?

    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.

    @martexica Před 6 lety +16

    This is sooo super helpful! Honest! These are exactly the things I was worried about at the beginning, including fitting in the skis or going on the lifts or taking the skis off. Great to see someone can really relate to beginners! :)

  • @alruhnwehde

    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!

  • @kylieharrison3745
    @kylieharrison3745 Před 6 lety +14

    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!

    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.

    Went skiing for the first time yesterday. Near the end of the day I took the lift to the highest point and I was screaming down the blues. Couldn’t believe I took it on so quickly. Sure I had some controlled bails but nothing crazy.
    I’m hooked. Buying skis this week and taking some lessons.
    Thanks for the video!

    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 😁
