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!

[@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!

[@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? 😊

[@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.

[@doris1826]

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

[@briansavage932]

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

[@lizaallen7727]

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

[@paulcleary3284]

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

[@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!” 😂

[@stephano6793]

[@Groovy-Baby-Yeah]

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

[@Jon-jk8vd]

Brace yourself for an Easter egg 🐣 ⬆️

[@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.

[@happydays59]

That was fantastic, so happy to be back in the Canadian Rockies!❤🐶

[@grantdavis7541]

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

[@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

[@robkorczak]

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

[@Dadcam_Can]

[@jasonk470]

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

[@AZ-vt7dt]

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

[@proudtexan5513]

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

[@slaphead2965]

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

[@rodeocamperredux]

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

[@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.

[@bensutton522]

Yes ❤ welcome to the club

[@kel319100]

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

[@ytubechannel997]

Love that you are doing some of the "Mediocre Amateur" KZbinr style of adventures. Enjoyed the video.

[@davesalvisburg9569]

A new subscriber. So real!!! Thanks for posting and making my day.

[@BKAD623-hz7ln]

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

[@sockeye402]

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

[@Aurien.]

its simple. foresty uploads a video and I click

[@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.

[@pauline3735]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@heidiedelman6840]

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

[@emmellj7133]

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

[@linebrunelle1004]

welcome home! that was a great adventure.

[@Beacon.Shovel.Bearspray]

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

[@blazerprophet]

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

[@helend6792]

😊 you sounded soooo happy 😃😃 and thrilled!! Foresty Forest nothing holds him back foresty forest with his dog and pak sak ❤

[@darcymonchakphotography]

Nice meeting you & Rocko in the OV parking lot. Nothing but options around here.

[@keithbrookshire]

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

[@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! 🐾💕

[@AnotherCBR]

You can hear the happiness and excitement as you were going down 😂

[@griffin2263]

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

[@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. 😍💞

[@aknudsen93]

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

[@romonasafree3151]

That was exciting! I felt like I was skiing with you. Great videography!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@adrianwilliamson6861]

Your dog......! Happiest doggie in the world.

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@prius_Brent_Goldie]

Always look forward to seeing your videos!!! Thanks so much for the hard work it takes making them!

[@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!

[@NATUREFORTRESS]

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

[@StephenBond]

Time to sit back and relax and watch Simon 😅

[@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.

[@bebopwing1]

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

[@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. 👍🌲🤙

[@rlobb4408]

You are too young for a midlife crisis!😂 I had so much fun on your adventure-thanks for taking us along. Rocko is such a trooper ❤

[@carolynthompson6518]

I love your “mid life crisis” selection of skiing ⛷️

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

Don't forget the bear spray... Glad to see you having fun.

[@jimsonjohnson3761]

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

[@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.🇺🇸♥️🫶🙏👍🐾⛷️🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@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.

[@DManGrand]

Now that was fun....

[@gregsayers1566]

Finally...I have been waiting for the ski descent since the beginning of your channel. I am grateful that you show excellent judgement in the mountains. Have a blast!

[@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❤❤

[@tz4637]

Been waiting 4 years for this episode. Congrats FF. Hotdogging now!

[@CanadianPsycho]

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

[@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

[@WalksInCamera]

Cool idea to get the skis! Rocco is a good passenger too!

[@krisgarwood5733]

That was great! Loved it all, but the downhill joy was priceless!!

[@sgoldie3235]

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

[@RollingwiththeRoss]

Sorry, the rest of KZbin is cancelled as there is nothing that tops Foresty Forest. Ski ya later!

[@NickDangerThirdGuy]

Dude, so glad you have come over to the Dark Side!
