Yep... Schumacher sadly needs to be benchmark here!

Back in the the late 80's I managed one year to ski every weekend from November to late March in and around that area. Some sunny days too and got asked in work how I had managed to get a tanned face, they didn't believe me when I said skiing in the lakes and thought I had been on a sun bed lol. Good to see its still getting snow. May be I should get myself fit and give it one more go. Aiming to get back into cross country roller skiing, but as an oldie I know if I do wipe out its gunna hurt a load more than when I was young. If I get that right I might just give the lakes a go again. Great video.

As an oooold skier please ask the young lady to wear a helmet. I’ve seen too many people suffer serious head injuries.

Good call. Only need to think of Schumacher that there's a risk still. Wearing one might well save your life. Same as on a motorbike.

I learnt to ski at Glenshee in similar conditions in the late 80s. Once you can ski those conditions, anything in the Alps is nothing

Bloody lovely! U both awesome!

Great effort!!

This is wonderful. Bravo.

Nice video! I didn't know it was possible to ski in England proper. BTW, skiing is always _all about timing_ , even in the Alps.

fantastic video, im housebound for the moment and miss skiing with every. ounce of me! so jealous

Legends!

Nice one. Back in the 80's I took my normal downhill skis to Alexandra Palace in London. Did 3 or 4 runs down the South facing front. It was fun, but, the walk back up was less so......

Yes mate in the 80s we skied at Ally Pally, we even had a motorised rope tow set up once or twice. Working at the ski slope there till it closed.

Class! makes me happy to see people out there just doing mad sh1t :-)

Well done, not easy - either walking up or skiing down.

Great video. Back in the late '70s, I skiied al the way down to Red Tarn on Telemark type skis. There was much more snow and I did a lot of traverses although the line looks similar. I think I came a very long way along the ridge to Helvellyn and there was skiable snow above 300m. Your kit looks pretty good although I think it's better for short up-and-down skiing than for longer Lake District touring which used to be possible on lighter nordic kit. Finally I've seen too many skiing and climbing accidents please consider wearing helmets.

Looked like an amazing day out. There’s a ski tow up by Raise and Sticks Pass - not far from Hellvelyn - walk in from Glenridding.

A great way to wreck an expensive pair of ski's. I was surprised that you had so little damage to the skis and the skiing did not look too bad overall.

I feel I gotta do this once in life just to say I've skied the lake district, honestly the views are quite nice too

Great video. Constructive feedback for your partner: More of a sliding action of the feet when skinning as opposed to lifting/stepping to save a lot of effort/energy.

Bruchharsh! (you need a more aggressive style on it) good fun though.

Ah, I see you're still rocking the bent pole, sweet. More snow than here in Austria where I am at, though :(

No mate we’re lucky to get a few days like this a year. Mild climate just brings typically wet winters to our small ‘mountain’ range, so got to make the most of it when it snows 👊

I see now why they don't call it the Snow District

Hmm. Wonder whether blades, compatible with mountain boots, would fare well.

Nice journey but please never ever do this again without a helmet. I'm a 40 year old expert skier who spends minimum 40 days of a year on Swedish-Norwegian mountains. You should ALWAYS have your helmet on you when you do something like this. Be safe and enjoy these lovely mountains, mate.

That whole experience was so exciting! But the howling and yelling really put me off! Why? I guess it’s a cultural thing.

Loud shouting grates.

Cool idea, but I think we all know the answer. It’s crap.

Really ? Everyone I know who takes LMNT supplements is spending a lot of money on other forms of nutrition such as very high-quality food. Why would I bother making this when I get it delivered monthly and hardly even notice the cost. Because I’m spending so much on high-quality for instance meet. People take these supplements because they understand about their health and are willing to spend money on it. It would be a poor use of time, I’d spend it fermenting my old vegetables. That saves 10x.
