I grew up in the alps, skiing since I was 4 years old. It never came to me that the alps are a very challenging area until I went to Whistler a few years ago. Don´t get me wrong, it was a really cool holiday and a great and satisfying skiing event. But it could not live up to steepness, harshness and difficulty of the alps, not at any moment. If you have ever been to the Arlberg, Alpe d´Huez or Zermatt, you know what I mean. The alps are king, Summer and Winter, if you know what you are doing.

Agree. Whistler have amazing snow conditions though, and I have had the best powder experience there. But compared to the alps, the mountains are pretty tame and the apres ski is so so.

Same here. Born and raised on skis, very close to the Alps. Currently living in Canada, but flying back to Les3Alpes early March. That is an incomparable experience for half the price than anything here. Stubaier gletscher still has a special place in my heart. Have been there like 10 times as a kid. Would love to go back.

My husband also learnt skiing when he was already in his twenties. Except for that one time when he didn't get the corner and went down the snowboard run with half-pipe and multiple jumps, he did pretty well. I will never forget when I looked behind me and he wasn't there anymore, then suddenly he appeared mid-air to the left of me. It was epic.

In being told they are not native English speakers most would guess that Speedy and Feli were Danish or Swedish.

@@AndreasDelleske haha, not a snowboarder but as a skier I have some sympathy with them getting on & off chairlifts & dealing with T-Bars, struggling with only one foot strapped to the board. They do have more comfortable boots but sitting en masse in big groups on the snow right at the top of the runs/slopes to do up their bindings after getting off the chairlifts is annoying to skiers. If you really want to avoid snowboarders all together then places like Deer Valley in Utah & a couple of other mountains in the US have a complete ban on all snowboarding. Most snowboarders are cool & chilled out despite their garish jackets & pants & I like watching them “fly” in the terrain park. ⛷🎿🏂

Oh man that really brought me back to all the times I went there for skiing early in the season during school and college time. I can even remember all the songs we listened to driving there and back... Great Video! You are actually doing really well for the conditions. I know it's hard with that fresh soft snow on the tracks and the bad visibility, but the better you cope with these conditions, the easier it's going to be on a sunny day with well groomed slopes. Keep doing those trips and you are going to be a professional too very soon!

As an American, lived in Switzerland for 5 years and was almost as bad a skier as this guy. Had a few friends that were unbelievably great skiers. All of us went one weekend to Gstaad and one of the better skiers in the group and his wife said “hey, come ski with us today”. I said hey, I’m not that good. They say ‘no problem, just keep up”. Yes, famous last words, cuz I went around all morning skiing WAY over my head.;..too fast, too reckless and these guys were just flying down the mountain. Suddenly, my skis crisscrossed and I barely avoided a complete head plant, but ended up breaking my scapula in the process. Went to an ortho some days later and they said lets just see if it heals on its own. Never did, and I spent about a week in a very lovely 5 star like hospital in Zurich and now have a souvenir for life from my Swiss days with a titianium plate and screws in my left shoulder!

Aaaargh! Those "T bar" ski lifts! I remember when I was learning to ski near Innsbruck, Austria. I had a pair of ski gloves that you snapped closed around the wrists. Well, after we made it through a long line, my sister and I had to share the same T-bar. She decided to sit on it while I decided to hold it in front of me. It did not go well. Next thing I knew, my sister wasn't there anymore, I wasn't on my skis either but the T-bar had somehow hooked itself underneath the snap on my left ski glove. Thanks to the snap, the glove would not come off. The T-bar dragged me up the slope on my left side with my skis flailing in the snow behind me. Everyone in the line was screaming, "LET GO!!! LET GO!!!" "I'm trying!" I feebly yammered. Finally, the glove came off and my torment was at an end. For an eight year old, it was a humiliating experience. Thanks for dredging up that trauma that I had banished to the furthest reaches of my memory, Nick! 😑

I can relate In the US parlance you went up on a T-Bar to the bunny slope, but good on you for giving it a whirl. I used to take my German nieces and nephews skiing at Garmisch at the Armed Forces recreation center. Man did they show me up. They were skiing since they could walk and we would meet at the Chalet after I conquered the bunny slope and they conquered what In the US would be the black diamond. The last time we were in Germany we went cross country or langlauf. I break too easily now. As others have observed, Laura should dress you. Perhaps if she had you would have been in sartorial splendor at the wedding in Italy.

There is nothing like skiing in the Alps :-) Especially Austria. I’ve also been to Breckenridge and Vail in the US and Whistler in Canada. It was amazing, but overall less challenging and I missed the après-ski. They don’t prepare each slope every night, except the super easy bunny slopes. Best thing: the snow is so fluffy, like real powder. Best ‘tiefschnee’ ever!

Fell off a T bar a time or two ,the secret of staying on is that both people lean toward each other at the shoulder. If nobody tells you it gets a little wild till the fall.

Yeah stick the tbar between the legs as a skier. Though the operators don't like to see it. As a snowboarder, well, it's bad. At least for me.

First time I've stood on skies was 4 years ago. I feel very comfortable running down the slope now but at the begging my instructor told me to spend my money on summer holiday :D.

At pointer for any non-expert skiers: Occasional falls indicate that you are pushing the envelope and that is how you improve your skills. The day you never fall is the day your skills remained stagnant. For the novice, your arse can be used as an emergency brake - there is no shame in using it!

Fall is the worst time of the year for skiing because there are way too many people for very few ski slopes which makes the slopes bumpy and packed. (even summer is better, but next time try winter 😂)

For your eighth time on ski, you did fantastic! This kind of light is not super comfortable because you need to go without seeing the snow details much..

But a good learning exercise. When you don't know whether it's going up or down you will take the correct position: Knees lightly bent and always alert to take a bump or dip.

Hey Nalf, i know you were just joking but good that you wore a helmet. I know it seems unlikely but people die during skiing all the time even in tourist areas where it is "safe". Father of a friend of mine went skiing during the Christmas holidays with his family and he never came back. It was absolutely devastating. So yeah, wear a helmet guys.
