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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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 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. 😋

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 😁

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.

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!!!!

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!

    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.
