That stack into the tree is priceless and one of the reasons I’ve spent hours watching these vids. So genuine, so helpful, always amusing. Thanks Jens.

[Leon-osuk]

The production quality on these videos is so good!

Mate your videos are the best! I moved to Japan last year and had never skiied before, so I watched your beginner tutorial and by the 2nd day I was flying down the mountain with my skis parallel!!! I recently got back from another little ski trip where I was starting to practice some carving from another one of your tutorials, I am absolutely hooked! This video will be great for tackling that sweet japow at the top of the mountain! Thank you so much, keep up the good work!

I've started watching quite a few instructional videos for skiing online and yours are the best I've come across. Love the editing with the lines to really emphasis key points, as well as the mic work while skiing. Top notch!

The fore and aft movement is the best explanation I have heard on how to get the skis to come out of the snow at the end of a turn. Being a piste skier for years I learnt very quickly that I needed to steer with the feet when in powder, but I have struggled with getting a good up and down motion in powder, transferring the weight onto the heels towards the end of the turn makes so much sense. Can’t wait to have a chance try it out.

As a telemarker transitioning to alpine skis, this is very helpful.

[hmarxists]

It’s so great that you show your crashes. Love it.

The snow we've had this year... And we're all stuck at home. You're so lucky you can continue to ski this season.

Good timing, I'm heading up to Lake Louise in the morning; big storm is rolling through, should be epic!

[ericjanke]

Every time I fall or crash I go "Wow...that was exciting!" and it gets me right back in the game

Nice Jens. I am resigned to skiing vicariously through your videos this season! Drone footage and Tarantino style sound track a nice tweak. Keep it up.

[wronaz]

The Bent Chetlers though 😍 Ive been gushing over these skis for months.

[dakotagutierrez]

I recently started skiing and after my first couple days on the mountain this season I sat down and watched almost every video posted! Thank you for the awesome content!

[Ezekiel_Irwin]

Nice drone footage, Great video, keep it up, I don’t ski powder very often but when I do I’ll now how.

[smo]

That's I've been waiting for this.
I've learned so much thanks to your videos
Keep up!

[aricamdan]

Absolutely love all your videos bro, I hope I can be as good as you one day!

[stasysfilmslimited]

“Oh it feels so good” sounded very naughty lol. And so pure, so real and honest when nothing else matters only real joy meeting the tree! Love new edits, style, variety!
