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

[jhk]

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'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!!!

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

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

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

[raularaujostrw]

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. 😎

[fartmangghhh]

[MrIpunch]

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

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!!!
