My daughter and I watched this video a dozen of times. We are back from our trip and we did great!!! We had so much fun. Thank you for this very awesome instructional video.

Oh.. Just saved me few hundreds of euros in lessons in French alps.. With All due respect to all instructors out there. Thanks again

This is the BEST beginner ski instruction ever. Seriously.

This is really the best video to help people and their children get the hang of it a lot easier and have more fun. Robin keeps it simple with the best demonstrations. Her charisma really makes the difference. I'm a former ski patroller and PSIA instructor who also worked with the disabled, mostly war veterans. We all need to get out and do something we enjoy. Thank You REI. Glad to be a longtime member.

Paid for a lesson and in 2 hours we covered the same material. Getting real time from an instructor was worth the price (only $50) but if you were on a super budget this video gets you 80% if you have half decent coordination. Will be attempting to improve my parallel turning on my next visit to the local ski hill before hitting up Colorado. Rather spend my time learning when the lift ticket is only $50 as compared to $250+

I have been skiing fir 9 years and I am constantly suggesting to people to try skiing if you are watching this video to decide I highly recommend skiing it is honestly one of the best things in the world to experience and I can’t stress enough how much I love skiing

who else is watching bc they dont wanna pay for skiing classes & its their first time skiing?

To the people just starting, TAKE A LESSON. You would not believe how much it helps even intermediate - advanced skiiers. Learning for a video is harder than actually having somewhere there, watching your flaws. Yes, you can learn your basics without paying but you can't have anybody watching you, telling you your mistakes.

Hello from France, thank you for this wonderful video. I’m so stressed out, I’m Vietnamese but i live in France, I’ll leaving for holidays with my family skiing in a few days . I’m scared, it will be my first time skiing, can you imagine i’m from a country almost 35.c the whole year 😅hope everyone has a pleasant day

I ski blacks/blues, but the stance was really informative. When ever I ski I usually wing the stance and it does me pretty well. I already knew how to parrael ski, but not very well and I can jump turn when it gets too steep.

Thanks! Today i went skiing, This Helped alot! You are the best!😊

Thanks, that was great for my kids to watch before trying.

Thank you very clear instructions look foward to my first time sking .merci👍🏼

2:46 is the understatement of the century. What I need is the video where they explain the PHYSICS of when making a triangle with your legs will or will not stop the trajectory of motion because all it did for me was cause my skis to cross, knocking me straight to the ground! 😭

@MBTIology

5 ай бұрын

It will stop the trajectory of motion if you have a wide triangle to ensure resistance which is creates less acceleration and therefore less force. You may have too wide of a triangle if your legs cross

I remember the first time I ever skied it was troublesome and I was nervous. But once ei actually understood how easy it is to skii when you do the triangle it was simple from there.

I snowboarded a bunch last year and got pretty decent at that. I'm skiing for the 1st time tomorrow. I just stopped enjoying snowboarding. I don't care for getting off the lift only strapped into one binding. I'm really hoping I like skiing. I'm cautiously optimistic I'll be decent at it. But I guess I'm gonna find out pretty quick!
