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.

@@raythevagabond3724 German federal police are protecting trainstations, airports and other federal stuff. The German correspondent to the FBI is the BKA and they have the duty to watch out for drug trafficers. Their headquaters is located in Wiesbaden and therefore they think that snow is that frozen rain that they have to shovel out of their way before they could drive from their home in the Taunus hills towards their office in Wiesbaden. But I was born and raised close to D'dorf before I moved to a small village in the Taunus wher nearly everyone is an employee working for the BKA.

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. ⛷🎿🏂

As Austrian and therefore a born skiing expert I´ll give you props...for the 7th time skiing and the very first time on so to say "more challenging terrain" it was pretty good - at least which was shown in the vlog ;-D I would say you just need a bit more practice and as consequence of that a bit more confidence then your body posture on the skies will become a bit more natural and elegant - meaning in particular skiing not that straddle-legged as you did now...but as I already said at the beginning ..You did pretty good for a beginner.

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.

Hey not too bad, if it makes you feel better, I have done most sports in life and been above average, 100 k canoe marathon [5 times] triathlons many, provincial squash play [word masters 2012] then O my gosh, at the ripe age of 60 yes years old I got forced by friends to go to Sankt Johann Austria for my first ski adventure in 2012, just like you, I was the master of falling and avoiding children. Since I have been every year since 2012-2018, you will never be good [maybe you will] but you will have a bucket load of fun. Going to record your adventure in my diary.

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.

Was mir so langsam in den Sinn kommt: NALF ist wohl nicht länger mehr das Kind ("the kid") von Speedy/Cody, sondern allmählich "Lauras Kid". Wobei ich ergänzen sollte, daß mir Laura von Video zu Video tatsächlich immer, immer besser gefällt..! Was ist los NALF? Pack endlich zu! Oder hast Du shon und wir wissen es nur noch nicht?

Stubai!!! YES!!!! awesome skiing there!! I also really really hope you guys got vaxinated and tested!! Austria is really not safe at the moment!! also, Laura is really smart. love the helmet comment. also again, I went skiing in Colorado once (it was great) and the lifts there are a joke! to get to the highest point you had to sit in a single seat lift with NO safety barrier thing. longest minutes of my life!! and the 4 seat didn't even have a weather shield! anyhoo. yes, we are very protective of our skilifts in Austria.

Not too bad. And with the training of a professional athlete there shouldn't be any issues. In such conditions I prefer yellow tinted goggles. Makes for more contrast and the mood is way better.

By the way, Nalf, the ultimate skiing song is "Schifoan" by Wolfgang Ambros. Just mentioning it, since the Stubai-valley is also mentioned in the lyrics! That's the track I hear every time I'm driving down a slope. It's in a Viennese dialect, so I imagine you'll have trouble understanding it, but it's just such a ridiculous, ridiculous feel-good song. :D --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_OdqZml6qYb9U

It's always a bit funny to see people who started as an adult in this typical "sititig on a toilet" position because they never had the fearless learning time of a child^^ You deserve some apfelstrudel. Next time go in a Area like Hochzeiger in the pitztal. there you will always have an easy and a hard way down ;)
