Skiing Since Age 1 | Mountain Girl Journey

[@Cocora22]

So true. I started my son on skis at 1 year old. We have been on the snow for 32 years!!!!! When he was 10 we started snowboarding. Haven't looked back. You are 100% right!!! I am 71 now and we still enjoy this sport together.

[@danielflynn969]

Nice

[@hajo-in-owl]

The most loved scene by me is "cause we are the rescue riders". Absolutely adorable 😂

[@IzumisChild]

That was my first video too!

[@stevenmoore4078]

That is my favorite video.

[@gossamerabba]

yes!!! I just commented the same!

[@marksullivan5885]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@leopillay3690]

How could we forget these beautiful footages of Adia, she was so cute and funny...on any given day, watching her would just transform a hectic day into a pleasant one...Adia has a bigger family now that she is on the world stage and we rooting for her to become the best she can ever be because she has captivated us with her precious little smiles , her priceless behaviour and actions , especially the way she greets the animals on the course....keep the videos coming Jeff , we just love them and appreciate your documentation and presentation....🎿🎿🇿🇦👏👏

[@gregbrechelt2295]

Hi Eric, I’ve commented on nearly every video since the beginning! For me it’s about how family should work and 95% of the world has lost touch and you are doing a grand job enlightening change. Those of us fortunate enough to have been brought up like your family sit back now and enjoy your family as our own. thank you for the warmth and love you are sharing.

[@ThatMountainLife]

Much appreciated Greg. 🙏

[@christinejackson8542]

I just love the entire family ! Adia is a firecracker ! Love hearing her little talks as she skis.

[@jaeyeollauv8964]

Eric you basically did documentation for Adia's overall development milestones and more, you did an excellent work!

[@giovanna7342]

I remember all her giggles and above all FAST LIKE A BAAALL 🥰😂💋❤💯 she is too cute and strong!

[@clairebattersby6340]

I started watching this channel because of 2 YO Adia, but stayed for your parenting style, filming skills and your whole family's positive vibe. I miss her saying hello to the pictures of the animals on the trails.

[@ThatMountainLife]

Thanks Claire! Glad you’ve stuck around. More content to come.

[@rumpel8037]

What an adorable "Teletubbie" on skis! And Adia's micro sound is priceless.

[@britttreu721]

You Can not escape falling for that beautifull little girl. Well done family 🌺

[@FernCurtis]

That was a great overview, Erich! I still go back and watch some of the earlier videos of Adia…just because she makes me smile so much!!! So looking forward to this season’s content, with the whole family of course. ☺️

[@janetterocha3609]

She is just adorable. I loved watching her grow and become quite the skier. Keep making content and I’ll keep watching. Cheers

[@rachelwalter6623]

She had me at Pooowwwddeeerrrr! Keep up the great work on the videos. Love watching their progression. Thank you for taking us along on the journey!

[@FLmickey90]

If I remember right, I started following when she was about 2! It's amazing at how far she's come over the years! she's also got amazing brothers that are patient with her and help her and cheer her on! Keep up the great work, mom, dad, brothers and Adia!!

[@euronika6362]

what a girl! She's sure rocking the mountains - and the park!

[@dramaqueen6G]

I have loved watching Adia grow up on skis. She started out with a ton of confidence and self-awareness, and she's going to carry that with her for her whole life. Girls absolutely rule! A gentle comment, if I may: I think you could lay off the verbal emphasis on "wholesome" a little bit. We don't need to be reminded so often. It's obvious from just watching you all that spending the winter skiing in the gorgeous mountains is good, happy family experience. It's also out of reach for most people. Any activity that a family enjoys together, from outdoor adventures, to dancing in the living room to disco music, can impart the same benefits. I hope you're aware of how fortunate you are. (Said with love from someone who's old enough to be your mother.)

[@isimplifi]

You rock Adia!!❤

[@SunSnowGravity]

Amazing on so many levels! Congrats and continue to have fun!

[@janelawrence7063]

Hi, your all going to have an awesome season on the mountain this year. Adia will be on the rails etc at bottom of one of the runs. Can't wait to see footage of her, Luca and August.🇬🇧❤️

[@susanpuren-uj1ds]

I just love this family. Thanx for sharing eric.

[@alexshchet]

OMG! How amazing! You, guys, are the best parents in the world!

[@stevenmoore4078]

Great to start the season with you guys. I’m looking forward to your new family adventures.

[@ThatMountainLife]

Thanks Steven!

[@howierfs5471]

Hi guys, I'll never forget the footage and her comments. I am sure in the comming season she will learn more and getting more and more confident in herself. Of course she looks after her big brothers August and Luca to learn from them as well. Wish you all a lot of fun in this season. Take care, stay healthy and enjoy life. CU

[@ThatMountainLife]

Thanks for supportive comment.

[@VeetiHuuhka]

Hey Adia you are Skiing Queen. Rock that Mountain.❤🎉

[@Robinsvideos2011]

I just love your family! You two are awesome parents and It's fun watching the kids grow over the years. Keep it up - I want more and more.

[@FamilieOutdoor]

Thanks to you, i teached my 2-years old son how to ski. And he did well last weekend. So cool! Greetings from Germany ❤

[@ThatMountainLife]

That is awesome! Thanks for leaving a comment. I love hearing that.

[@danielflynn969]

I was skiing before I could before and I’m 6 and l can ski like a pro

[@venitabucceri8435]

Truly, this little pink person lights up the world💖 You can be SO proud of all three of them, Eric. 🎉🎊😎

[@jeannielocatelli3961]

Great video!!! Loved it!!

[@junepeyer1200]

❤ holy moly! This brought tears to my eyes!!!! Before you know it she’ll be starting a family of her own!!! Ok- now I’m crying!!!❤. Good job Courtney and Erich!!!!❤❤❤

Weve been following along for over 3 years! Love all your stuff

[@ThatMountainLife]

Thanks Shawn!

[@austinado16]

Outstanding edit, as always, and it's great to see the journey. You and your wife are doing a fantastic job. Another benefit to the kids is that their brains are learning and mastering the skill of "delayed gratification." Unbelievably important to have a brain that functions like that, as part of it's core programming. You are paving the way for the success of not only this generation, but the ones that will follow.

[@the_donut_boys]

A new legend has been created…

[@babyspice0206]

You’re such an amazing dad and mentor for skiing to them 😊 my daughter just turned 18; and we will be going to the slopes this July in NZ down under.

[@emmacollen4903]

Adiantum is so cute and I am going skiing this year I love to watch your videos 😊

[@larsord9139]

I think what I liked the most was her: "Hi Arlo. Bye Arlo". Poor Arlo. Cold, but super cute.

[@miniruss123]

What a great video!!

[@lucaszadery19]

you guys are the best parents!!! keep making her a badass on the slopes and im sure shes gonna be better than 99% of the boys her age or older

[@Peytonskis18]

That resort looks awesome I would love to check it out

[@retronimrod]

First, Awesome Video, Greetings from Germany!!!

[@gossamerabba]

Rescue riders to the rescue!!! One of my favorites.

[@alansuess6704]

She is adorable. And going to be good. I cant wait to have kids so I too can go skiing with them which is a dream of mine.

[@KhaelaMenshaK]

You guys are all so incredibly wholesome. Glad I found your channel. Today, I went shopping and there was a "very young human being", crying and screaming her lungs out. Somehow I have a feeling that thanks to your awesome parenting this did not really happen with your kids. I can't see how a kid who's learned to navigate a dense forest on skis before turning three years would throw a tantrum because of not getting the chocolate it wants... You guys are amazing.

[@ThatMountainLife]

Hey Thomas, To be fair, I maintain the belief that tantrums are quite natural and normal. And in many ways, our children’s unregulated emotions often trigger something inside of us to “not like it” or to become uncomfortable….its our job as adults to be a regulated, loving presence during our kids emotional outbursts. I think our culture gets a lot wrong when it comes to emotions and vulnerability. All of this is to say, our kids are human and do have moments where they become emotionally unregulated. (These are moments where logic and reason goes out the window) and it’s in the child’s best interest for us to simply be a safe presence. I do believe that when a child’s needs for rest, connection, and (the appropriate) level of stimulation - we can reduce the amount of times our kids end up losing it. Most kids are tired and overstimulated in our culture. And my parenting philosophy could like best be described as old meets new. I believe in “gentle parenting” practices that allow kids to fully feel their emotions AND I believe in having boundaries and leading kids with a loving spine. I hope that makes sense. A lot of parents also don’t have a broad enough toolbox to navigate their kids big emotions. It’s not their fault.

[@ThatMountainLife]

Oh, and saying this and executing this are too very different things. 😅

[@KhaelaMenshaK]

@@ThatMountainLife I didn't want to give the impression that I hated either the kid or the dad! I've got two nephews aged 6 and 4 and I know that there is no reasoning with them sometimes, especially when tired. What I DID mean to say though, is that their are parents who are great at putting the kids in a more stable mood. Since my brother and his wife split up, I can notice a distinct difference in how the two little guys deal with unexpected situations depending on whom they spent their previous days with.

[@marksullivan5885]

It has been quite an adventure so far. I'm hoping the video's concludes with gold medals in the future Olympics. Living there best lives. Wtg mom and dad.

[@JohanBerg-v5s]

Dreamlife in the Rocky Mountain. ❤🇺🇸

[@markdearness]

Thankyou sooo much for posting this, it has me in tears. In a time of war famine and hatred the darkness is overwhelming but Boyoboy you pair sure turned on the lights and that is priceless; i cannot thankyou enough…..btw, pardon me for being blunt but have you got a brother called James? 😉🤫

[@robertplant2059]

I bounce to the music on my board too! Adia is a bad ass! I will think of you when I am in Zermatt in April.

[@imageitinerary]

so cute!

[@Joozt112]

the shot @ 0:24 with the whole crew is sooo cool xD

[@ThatMountainLife]

Haha yah that was fun!

[@worstalentscout]

Adia was so little and super cute..........

[@Machtyn]

Such a beautiful mountain! Wish I could live in an area where I could ski every winter. (It's harder to move to a more expensive cost of living area when you live in a lower cost of living area.)

[@VIAISGL4M]

I am 10 and I also ski and Adia is a better skier 😂

[@flowerspires]

I have also skied once and I’m somehow better then her XD

[@georgehunter4199]

Love the video, will definitely buy the book. I just want to know, what resort do you guys ski at?

[@ThatMountainLife]

We’re skiing Fernie Alpine Resort on the regular. We’re lucky!

[@thatwhit1]

What an inspiration to this father of 2 daughters….sadly i will have to rely on ski school first I think…

[@ThatMountainLife]

No shame in that! Have someone else get them going and then you’ll be able to enjoy some laps together.

[@Wei-st8vw]

She is so cute!!! May I ask, what equipment do you use for conversation while skiing?

[@ThatMountainLife]

No conversation. Just Bluetooth wireless mic’s for better audio in the videos

[@РоманКрюков-ш6и]

Вау, как же это круто!!

[@arizonad8012]

I'm 37 of age, and this winter is going to be my first time on the skies, never had an opportunity before it is a very expensive sport. What I was about to say I scared to death But excited in the same time No expecting much, I just want to try. I know I already commented your video, but I just came back to it, to give myself little more of self esteem.

[@Crystal5672cats]

I wish there was a way to teach adults to ski with less fear! I have been learning but I have a fear of steep terrain and going fast.

[@SimpleCrazyBOCs]

❤

[@oliviapiairofernandes8042]

Erich je suis contente que vous ayez répondu. Je suis une mamie de 78 ans J'adore vos enfants mais on se damnerai pour un de ses sourires. Ania sera une star olympique. Si vous parlez français traduisez un peu. Gros bisous à Ania go my beauty 😅😅❤❤🎉

[@ThatMountainLife]

Thanks Olivia. I’m glad you enjoy the videos.

[@sau1412]

Never ski before, wish I can try and learn sometimes, but i am not youger enough 😢

[@Totally_not_M3lia]

I'm doing my first skiing lessons and like just like doing skiing for the first time and I'm kind of scared but I'm excited for at the same time if you have any tips leave in the comments

[@ThatMountainLife]

Set low expectations and have fun with it!

[@oceadiuli2723]

What if they want to snowboard ?

[@ThatMountainLife]

They will have that chance

[@arizonad8012]

Imagine skiing diamond paths at age of two

[@EmmetV-Allboard]

🏂 ⛷️

[@mojeprice9654]

I had a really bad accident involving a child like that - a great skier but with a childish attitude to responsibility. She crashed into me due to a creative maneuver on her side and i ended up with a ruptured disc. We do not give children access to cars going ar rhat speed or motorbikes and they have no business on a mountain like that.

[@ThatMountainLife]

I’m sorry about your injury. As a ski patroller, I have responded to more collisions involving adults than I have kids. Skiing is a GREAT sport kids. The world would be a better place if adults had to watch out for MORE kids on the slopes. Of course kids need to taught proper educate and ski safely. Accidents do happen, especially at busier resorts - but I can assure you it’s not a “kid” issue.

[@LHTkayaksport]

Just as cute - and still with no fear At this rate she will be carving blacks by the time shes 10!
