My First Time Backcountry Ski Touring - Canadian Rockies Van Life

[@NicksGarage]

What fun. Your laughter says it all. Thanks for having us along, foresty. Good dog, Rocko.

[@memorysometimers3067]

With rocko strapped to his chest!! Somebody please make a cartoon pic of that !! 😆😁

[@DAveweDidntAsk]

The laughter was pure joy, amazing, so genuine!

[@paulwaite8019]

@forestyforest @nicksgarage Hey guys, how about the two of you collaborate on updating the van into a winter adventure vehicle. That would be cool to watch on both your channels!

[@lindenmoore]

Yes! Foresty, listening to your joy gave me so much happiness!

[@CarolGasses]

“Rocko goes skiing”. You could write a great kids book with the adventures that dog has experienced!

[@eddymahon1503]

That’s a great idea. ❤️Rocko

[@nancyreese4964]

What a wonderful idea! Simon? 😊

[@carolannfox1644]

It needs to be on record that Rocko is one of the coolest dogs on the planet. She is the perfect companion for Foresty!

[@doris1826]

I love the sound of your full-belly laugh -- even if you're tired and out of practice. You have a wonderful laugh!

[@ramblynrocketeer]

Utter BLISS!! 🎿🏔️⛷️ Your laughter of pure joy made our day + Rocko trying to race you was thrilling!!! ✨

[@PopsieLouisiana59]

Foresty Forest....he is a chef, a mechanic, a tailor, a survival cabin builder, videographer, drone pilot, trailblazer and now alpine skier. Living the good life.

[@angelapietras1235]

Brilliant love yours and Rockos videos.❤

[@debrandw246]

Yes he is!!!! Wow. I am impressed.

[@kstigerlily]

You forgot cross-country bike tourer, and friend to the dog. I always notice how kind and aware he is of his good friend, Rocko.

[@PopsieLouisiana59]

@@kstigerlily oops. my apologies to Foresty and you.

[@teenalagree494]

Your laugh skiing down is EVERYTHING! I bet Rocko enjoyed it too!

[@ArtistryOfAdventure]

100% pure bliss!

[@lizaallen7727]

Rocko has all the trust in the world in you!!

[@briansavage932]

The excited nervous laughter while skiing down that mountain was awesome.

[@paulcleary3284]

Backcountry skiing is a great addition…your sheer joy during this one was infectious. Stay safe out there bud

[@richardguse3410]

Hiking, skiing and carrying Rocko while recording! Just Awesome! Thank you.

[@journeywithnichole]

That is the closest I have been to skiing in 40 years. Thank you, that was fun...and so beautiful!

[@AngelsExcursions]

The way Rocko is enjoying herself and is so calm is awesome. I can see ya doing amazing things with skiing. Welcome to the mid-life crisis... lol. Your laughter on this one gave me the biggest amount of joy!

[@robadr13]

We know the mid-life crisis is to be greatly anticipated and treasured! 🙂 I started biking and bike touring in my late 40's - changed my life so much for the better.

[@amyh1045]

I can just imagine Rocko thinking, “ DAD!!! What the eff are you doooooiiinngggg!” 😂

[@bwrick21]

FINALLY HE SKIS DOWN! All these years i’ve been waiting for this video. Awesome to see it!

[@LowLightMike]

I love the piece of music used for the drone views and the ski descent. Whatever that song is, I smile whenever I hear it in a FF video.

[@stephano6793]

I could almost smell the endorphins coming out of my TV. 😆

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Hearing you giggle from pure joy while skiing, brought a huge smile to my heart.

[@stanbyme7874]

Probably #1 video from you. Your happiness & joy is infectious. Loved to have heard Rocko howling as you came down😂

[@richardp6461]

This was obviously a great idea. I have never heard you giggle like that. And now you can keep up with Rocko on the downhills

[@jwebbw]

Fore-resty Forest, he hikes and he skiis....Fore-resty Forest !!

[@enricoderomeri6977]

Hearing you laughing just made my day 🍻

[@janameares6801]

The sound of your laughter and the sight Of Rocco in your jacket is priceless your laugh your laugh

Been waiting YEARS for you to put on some skis, can’t wait to see all the upcoming adventures

[@robkorczak]

Truly this is Rocko's channel and she's absolutely adorable. Thanks for letting us see what you see.

[@theathjr]

🎵 “Foresty Forest he ski’s from his van. Foresty Forest” 🎶 the pure joy you had coming down the mountain was awesome.

[@Groovy-Baby-Yeah]

Wait for it... Canadian Rocko Van Life coming to theaters near you. 🎞📽🍿

Brace yourself for an Easter egg 🐣 ⬆️

[@darrellcaruk8880]

Nicely Done Foresty. We just witnessed HAPPINESS Love the laughter.

[@suzanne5961]

Finally, back country skiing! Yes, you gotta ski/hike up a mountain, but then no crowd coming down on virgin snow! What a thrilling adventure!! Rocko enjoyed it too! She's a perfect companion. Loved hearing your laughter. Keep up the great work Foresty.

[@jasonk470]

Your joy is so infectious. The world needs more you on skis! Your laughter brought me a lot of joy. Thank you 😊

It's scientifically proven that laughter is infectious.... Thanks for the laughter 😊Mr Forrest 👍👍

[@MapleMarmite]

Foreski Forest! 👍🏻

[@barbaradowney4207]

Love the skiing....Rocco just makes us laugh and smile...she has to be one of the most beloved KZbin pups!

[@birdlady2725]

Rocko needs her goggles for skiing ❤ Looks like a beautiful time! Be safe and have fun!

[@sockeye402]

I knew you were hooked when you said "Oh Yeah" the first time and laughed .

[@aknudsen93]

When everyone else heads south, Foresty Forest and Rocco head north. Thanks again for the beautiful drone views!

[@Dadcam_Can]

🎼🎶 🥁 Foresty Forest, he shreds ⛷️ for his fans, Foresty Forest... 🎬

[@GeorgeVeselka-f5l]

Spring skiing in the Rockies over rockos tracks on a blue bird day back to your home on wheels, how amazing!! Doesn't get much better.

[@TheSteveador]

such joy! stoked you're having such a blast, thanks for inviting us all along on the adventures!

[@angelagail5653]

I laughed so hard when you started wobbling & fell. Your laugh was infectious. I have become addicted to your channel and I’m in love with Rocko! You’re the best!

[@StealthWolf13]

What a great video. Skiing is a great addition. That laugh while you were skiing was pure enjoyment. Rocko is such a cute pup and she has a wicked dad. Your video's are the best. Keep up everything you do. You're a legend!

[@heidiedelman6840]

Your laughter made me laugh when I watched. Seems like you had so much fun. Thanks for taking us along!

[@JLR77]

“Remember, if you french fry when you want to pizza you’re gonna have a bad time”. My rough quote from South Park Asspen episode. I loved this video. Loved seeing Rocko run next to you. Thank you so much.

[@griffin2263]

thanks for taking us along !! rocko loving the wind in her ears ... glad to hear the laughter

[@slaphead2965]

That looked like so much fun! Great video Foresty! 🙂👍🇬🇧

[@chasingthetwins7951]

The enjoyment and happiness that radiated from your laugh coming down the hill was so infectious. The little Rocko keeping up and loving life too is just awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lindajcope]

Looked as if you had a lot of fun and Rocko also. The scenery from the drone was breath taking. Loved to hear your laughter.

[@blazerprophet]

Pretty clean lines. Rocko was like, "what me, worry?".

[@northerngardengirl]

That was the BEST!!!! Your joy was so evident! Loved the view from your video camera as you were gliding down the slope!! Yay Foresty Forest! So thrilled you found yet another way to experience the mountains. 😍💞

[@RenayEmond]

Closest i will get to skiing since my injury 🙏SO GRATEFUL that you shared the experience the way you did❤allowed me to live vicariously through you! You make the world a Better place for us All, Simon 💯Appreciation is ENORMOUS!

[@rodeocamperredux]

The evolution of Foresty Forest continues and I’m 100% here for it! Love that you’re skiing now too!

[@astrobear8790]

Rocko's like "I don't know what this is, but I like it"

[@Beacon.Shovel.Bearspray]

This is going to open a whole new world of mountaineering. It did for me 20 years ago.

[@keithbrookshire]

I don't think I've ever heard you express such joy as you did on your downhill trip. Good for you.

[@Lilrosa-cs1pn]

Watching Rocco skiing with you…cruising down the hill like nbd! what a cool little life she lives! The stories she can tell her dog buddies!

[@jimsonjohnson3761]

I always love to see your new video. Cracking a cold one and sitting inside watching the snow fall. Cheers!

[@BigFreak52]

Thats awesome! Was just rewatching an old episode where you talked about getting into skiing. Not many places on earth better for backcountry skiing than BC. I know you are careful but avalanche safety, especially in big mountains, is so important. Best of luck man!!!

[@suezaple4950]

Your laughing skiing down was cute showed you were having a blast little Rocko was sure enjoying that . What a fun video loved this.

[@naomiwoodman3585]

I have never heard you laugh in sheer joy. It tells me you had a lot of fun.

[@CanadianPsycho]

the pure enjoyment in your voice and laughter says it all. Glad your enjoying yourself Forest ! be safe out there

[@kelliephoenix]

Great video! I could hear the excitement and happiness as you were skiing down. Made me happy for you! 😁 Rocko looked a lil unsure but she is always a trooper! 🐾💕

[@BKAD623-hz7ln]

Rocko seem to have been the perfect choice for your best friend. Always ready for the adventure ✌️

[@helend6792]

[@peterobrien7465]

I don't think l have ever seen another Jack Russell ski before . Rocko has a life . ❤

[@LaNette1]

Hey Frosty Forest what a fun video the scenery was amazing I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone ski with a dog inside their coat. You are a very good skier . I’m glad you made it down the mountain safe and sound you and Rocco you guys are amazing. You always make my day. Be safe out there and stay warm.🇺🇸♥️🫶🙏👍🐾⛷️🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@dannykizhner]

So awesome to finally see you on a pair of planks! You can have so many first descents the way you get after it

[@trailrideadventures]

Rocko was laughing inside.

[@joycecollins5796]

You and Roccoo Baby are so AMAZING!!! Beautiful shots as usual!! Again can't get over how Rocco just adapta so well to wherever or whatever you do!!!???❤❤😮😮

[@justjudy7320]

There is something about the foresty forest theme song that always makes me dance and smile❤ the other thing that made me smile was the look on Rocco's face as you were ripping down that mountain❤❤

[@blueman5924]

lol. I was swaying back n forth with you on those ski turns, and I practically fell off the bar stool.😂 Thanks for the wholesome adventure outing. 👍🌲🤙

[@bensutton522]

Yes ❤ welcome to the club

[@NATUREFORTRESS]

Thank you! Really enjoying this video. The overhead drone shots are majestic. And little rocco is adorable.

[@kel319100]

What a riot!!!! That was great!! Rockos first time skiing !!!! Thanks for this video!!!

[@matthewpence6017]

Thanks!

[@forestyforest]

Thanks Matthew!

[@bebopwing1]

Oh man, that clip around 7:05 of Rocco running next to you is great! She looks so happy!

[@TranscendentalMovers2plus2]

Welcome to the dark side, Ski mountaineering. Oh, I’ve been watching your videos for years since back in the minivan and wondering when you were going to get sucked into ski mountaineering. It is a fun dangerous cliff. I just got back to my cabin from musky mountaineering trip up in a Talkeetna’s in my backyard here in Alaska, and I saw this video posted. Hope to meet you on the trails one day.

[@lorenaakins4481]

i really enjoyed this sky trip. it made me feek kuje u was reakkt coming down on skys, , Thanks so much, I admire all the things you do, love it all

[@tylert5872]

Been waiting for skis since the 1st video I saw over 3 years ago!

[@janeshealthadventure8778]

Lots of joyful expression in this video, makes me miss skiing so much! Wild skiing would be amazing! Skis and snowshoes definitely have their own ideal terrain.

[@Takeoffin321]

Volkl . Good choice. Just got off a 30 year ski trip. Thanks for taking over my spot on the hill. U deserve some sweet runs back to the van.

[@hannahloveanna3938]

Nice video! I was laughing right along with You on the slope! I also wanted to scratch that itch that Rocko seemed to have & couldn't manage to fix with her jacket on. 😂 Thanks for taking us along once again.

[@sgoldie3235]

Excellent!! And I agree with the other comments… hearing you laughing like that is the best!

[@robadr13]

Welcome home! Great video - you had us all giggling on the downhill run. I had this image of Rocko covering her eyes, but she seemed chill about the whole thing. She's a pretty fearless creature, and just about the perfect companion! 🙂

[@emmellj7133]

Yoohoo!! Thank you for the ride down the slope!😎⛷🏂

[@_tripsa]

Hike, climb mountians, rock climb, ski! Just a man of many talents!

[@TheTylerGreen]

Going down must have been fun! I've been watching Foresty Forest for YEARS, and I've never heard some of the laughter (nervous laughter included) that was heard on that downhill section around the 5 and a half minute mark.

[@proudtexan5513]

Absolutely Wicked footage on those new Ski’s!! Careful now down those slopes!!

[@pauline3735]

What a fantastic video!! And your laugh … so joyous 😊. Made me laugh! 😄

[@ProfessorCop]

I love this channel. Just the type of content I can’t get anywhere else. ❤

[@virtualburton]

Love to hear you laughing Simon! Thanks for sharing and have fun!!

[@martinforrester8249]

Oohh, I just loved that , Rocko, tucked in your jacket skiing down, then later racing you. What a pal she is .

[@duckypam]

How fun! You must have burned at least double your normal calorie burn getting up there just to ski down. Some ribs or something are in order after that effort.

[@AZ-vt7dt]

great job skiing the hill.........I enjoyed the ride down with you.

[@FoundPonds]

As a life-long skiier who just took his last turns for this season in SW Quebec, I really enjoyed hearing your enjoyment of getting back on skis!

[@landogarner2007]

You looked and sounded like you were having so much fun. I had a smile on my face the entire video.

[@barbarakyle9869]

Thank you for a window into your adventures. Thoroughly enjoyed your laughter, the beautiful drone video and soundtrack and of course, Rocko's adventures. Please, keep those glorious videos coming!

[@StephenBond]

Time to sit back and relax and watch Simon 😅
