Poland - Ep 7 - First Time EVER skiing, Zakopane

[@jerzy7118]

For the first time skiing, it's very good

[@continentalcoxons]

Aww thank you Jerzy. Yeah, thought we did OK for our first time. I fell over a lot more than Jacqui 🤣 It was great to try though, something we've always wanted to do.

[@katekaragholi8081]

Awesome thanks! any restaurant 7 bar recommendations please? We are headed here for new years x

[@continentalcoxons]

You're welcome Kate, hope you found it useful. We actually have a video on some of the restaurants and bars too ☺️

@@continentalcoxons I will be in Poland next month and hopefully go to theses places you went to!

[@continentalcoxons]

@@ariusfaderan I hope you get to Zakopane, we'd love to go in the summer to compare with the winter. I think it will be equally stunning. Loved being there in the winter though, it was a real winter wonderland and hope we get back very soon.

Thank you Krzystof. It is a beautiful place.

Hi we plan on going next month and book with goski but just to confirm, how much time did you spend at the slopes before you had to head back and return the equipment? Were you able to spend as much time there as you wanted after the lessons or ?

[@continentalcoxons]

Hi Nat, thanks for reaching out. We were there pretty much all day, our lesson was only 2 hours. We were just left to spend as much time there as we wanted. We just had to get a taxi back to the office where we got the equipment from. Goski provide you with the taxi number so they can get your ski's in.

@@continentalcoxons amazing, super helpful! Your video made the perfect guidance for our holiday 🤗

[@continentalcoxons]

@shugokikiEmi aww thank you, really pleased it's helped you out. Feel free to get back in touch if there's anything else you'd like to know.

Good work getting down the slopes! I had such a hard time skiing when I tried it the first time - I just didn't have the leg strength to break, so I just kept going faster than I could control. Great video overall :D

[@continentalcoxons]

It's really hard work, especially picking yourself up when you've fallen down. The main problem I had was getting off the ski lift believe it or not. I wish we'd captured some of it 🤣 I know what you mean about getting faster and not controlling it, I had to take myself out a few times as I was heading into the ski lifts and started to panic. We enjoyed it though and would definitely do it again.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

@@continentalcoxons Haha I get what you mean! But on skis at least you're strapped in when you get off the lift - on a snowboard your back foot is loose :) It sounds like you did have a great time though! Hope you get to visit some other nice ski resorts as well. I need to get back to the Alps at some point...

[@continentalcoxons]

Yes it would be good to get and see some more ski resorts. The good thing about Zakopane is how cheap it is to ski and hire the equipment. Ski passes here were so cheap too. Its a great place to learn to ski.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

@@continentalcoxons Niice... I really should go there - maybe I'll take a trip next winter to try it out!

[@continentalcoxons]

You should, beautiful place. Be a great place to go just before Christmas with all the snow.

[@lolangtamad8591]

Hi how to go from zakopane from krakow? And also how to go from zakopane to the skii area where u showed in your video?

[@continentalcoxons]

Hello there. We hired a car during our time there in Poland and took about 2 hours to drive there from Krakow. You can also get buses and trains to the town though. We booked our skiing with GoSki online. Theu will come and lick you up at your accommodation and get you fitted put in any equipment you need. They will take you to the ski slopes too.

[@lolangtamad8591]

@@continentalcoxons can u please tell me where did you book the ride from krakow? Is it back and forth? Whole day? Do we need to tell where we wanna go or they will just bring us there?

[@continentalcoxons]

@lolangtamad8591 we drove there by ourselves with a rental car. I think we have a video of our drive there, it was quite easy to get to if you are OK driving independently. We picked our car up at the airport and hired it for 1 week

[@lolangtamad8591]

@@continentalcoxons oh ok thank u so sad we cannot drive :(

[@continentalcoxons]

@lolangtamad8591 you can use the bus or train to Zakopane no problem.

[@aimeebennett5609]

hi, what month did you go skiing in?

[@continentalcoxons]

Hi Amy, this was back in February this year when we were skiing. Can highly recommend Goski if you go.

[@advtel1001]

Why do you use my savior’s name Jesus over and over! No man I would have like your videos but it is wrong to abuse the name of Jesus. I stopped watching.

[@continentalcoxons]

OK no problem. No offence intended.
