[@snidgem6193]

agreed, shit day. Very hard to see, cant tell bumps and jumps from a smooth slope

[@joshkuhn1296]

I’m from New Zealand and my dad owns a ski and surf shop so it’s fair to say I’ve been skiing my whole life. You’ve done really well for a first time skiing! The only tip I would give is to bring your hands/arms forward in front of you instead of close to your hips. This helps shift your body weight forward and helps you avoid getting in the “backseat” as we call it.

I've been skiing for 14+ years now and seriously, I don't think Milke realizes how insane it is to be doing intermediate runs just a few days after learning to ski. Generally, people stick with beginner runs for a couple of years before being able to move on the intermediate runs. The fact that he was able to in such a short period of time and with very very solid technique is incredible!

[@chasegrover3671]

6:40 “this is really bad weather, I better call it a day” that was perfect weather I love snowy days like that when it is powdering. I am a snowboarder though????

[@TrulPvP]

Many ski resorts in Italy etc is like 3000m over the sea. When it is that cloudy it is imposible to see anything. Sometimes you can barely see your own skies, it is actually kinda scary.

This is something i can really relate to it. I learned skiing in 3 -4 days when I was 24. My progression was very similar to Mike. I remember at night I felt legs moving, it was a bad sensation caused from too much practice. by the way I learned to ski. Then I was able to do a black track. So the secret is just practice and never surrender.

[@AdventureCayman]

I don't normally comment on videos, but I have to comment on this one. I have been skiing for my entire life, next season will be 40 years of skiing for me. When I first started this video I was literally laughing at you, thinking to myself this guy is crazy if he thinks he is going to learn how to ski in a few hours before heading to the Alps. Then as I watched you progressed at an incredible pace, and by the end I was eating my words. I have to say I am more then impressed with how well you did and strongly feel you should focus on skiing as much as you can as you are a natural. Oh and like you know.....that terrible day was the best day of the trip for skiing, but clearly not when you are trying to learn and need to focus on that.

As someone who’s been skiing since they were two this was really enjoyable and quite funny to watch

[@tonymartin2966]

Dude skiing is so much better on actual snow my favourite holiday

[@cameronsinclair7903]

"Weather is absolutely terrible" Like George said perfect powder day you're lucky af and "I can't see a thing" well no wonder its snowing hard and you're wearing sunglasses

[@savagecabage7440]

Cameron Sinclair lol, it's funny

[@cameron6190]

The best time is right after a storm. When the sky is clear but there is fresh powder 👌

[@kyto5001]

As a person who skied for many years, you progress faster than anyone I ever met

[@thehyperactivesloth6824]

Id doubt it bud, my friend was doing parallel turns on blues his first day. And his second day he was hitting blacks and double blacks with me 👍

You got balls to go straight to the Alps and i was struggling at the bunny hill yesterday for the first time ever skiing.

[@lukeerickson2500]

It kind of fun watching this have having your own skiing instincts come in

[@nussninja1631]

[@EdgyToastie]

[@bruddyfilms7376]

Good job mike skiing’s hard and u got the hang of it

[@TioRubens1]

If you french fries when you are supposed to pizza, you are gonna have a bad time!

[@pigbeners4527]

Xadrez E Café is this the most common phrasing used? I learned in Romania, they called it “Parallel” and “Snowplow”

[@cubrakadabra]

Xadrez E Café what? What does fast food have to do with skiing

[@TioRubens1]

Well, the comment is a reference to a south park episode. At least in the U.S it is the most common way to say it

[@cubrakadabra]

Xadrez E Café wait, is it really used for when you ski with a triangle position and parallel skis? We use the same terms as the Romanian guy above, with a divide in parallel skiing (sliding and carving)

[@TioRubens1]

Ivan Cubric yup.. /\ pizza | | french fries

[@finnkopp7252]

Awesome! May have been a little ambitious to go all the way up on your second day, but overall great job!

[@OneDerscoreOneder]

Finn Kopp that's the point dude

[@rogvireynstind5555]

I have been skiing two times in my life. That was one of my favorite parts of my life

[@anamerican2251]

[@ljkstudios]

[@cam6808]

[@xghostx3631]

“The weathers terrible today” *visible frustration*

[@KJ-nu8qi]

Its crazy, skiing comes naturally to me now since I've done it so much, its interesting to see how people struggle with control, i just forgot how hard it is at first

[@davidshirz4351]

Duuude. Your progress is insane! Like watching myself learning but X5 speed. wow Nice !
