Learning how to Ski - 1 year progression

Skiing, fishing, beekeeping, man after my own heart. Brilliant Alex i can see massive improvement, keep it up

As someone who is standing on skis every winter since I was 2, I have to say it is really great to see you getting into it and showing the world how one can always start picking it up and enjoy it from the beginning. Keep it up, having this much progress after only one year is really impressive!

I'm going on a skiing trip with my in-laws in two weeks. They do this every year, but my family never did. I really want to join and I'm trying to take some lessons here and there, but it feels stressful because I'm trying to catch up in a very short time with what my boyfriend, his family, and friends have built up over years. Your video gives me some hope that I shouldn't be too hard on myself and that I should be proud of the progress I make. So, thank you.

For someone that is skiing for all of his life seeing his progression is incredible. Alot of people need alot more time to get this good. Keep going Alex

Mate. I went on a ski holiday for the first time with uni 24 years ago and I caught the bug. Your video hit home because I decided to get better and started going to MK every Saturday.. 3 hours a week. The following year I progressed so much just like you did! I ended up doing seasons in the Alps, riding for the fledgling GB freestyle squad and living a full life in the mountains. My passion is now and always has been for 20 years skiing and nothing gives me more joy than ripping it up with my kids who have loved a full life being skiers since the age of 2! Love this vid 🔥❤️

I am 55 years old originally from Egypt 🇪🇬 and have been living in the United States over the past quarter century and picked up skiing a couple of years ago and it is a thrill skiing with my sons on the snow instead of just watching them coming down the slope from a distance. It is so much fun. You have definitely improved and you are right comparing your own progress year after year. I am sure in no time you will be skiing on steeper terrain with ease and confidence. Thanks for sharing. It is inspiring.

My favourite upload yet, said a non-skiing gardener here. Loving the relaxed vibes of this one, fantastic editing, and of course your dedication in reaching the goal(s) you set yourself. Great work, Alex 👏🏻

Do I care at all about skiing in any form? No. Did I have other videos I could watch just as well as this? Yes. Did I immediately klick this as soon as it came up? 100% yes. Lovely work as always!

Phil’s smile at 26:19 is all of our reactions seeing your improvement :) So glad YouTube pushed me this update

It took me 50 years to start, and now 4 years later I'm on my way to Breckenridge, Colorado in a week.

You remind me so much of my husband who started skiing 25 years ago age 35. He was not ever interested in going before but from the first time he put skis on, he was hooked. In his second ski trip, he was going down anything (always having lessons as you can never be too good for expert advice) and now he is an avid off piste skier. We joined a local dry slope ski club in the early days and were trained to race. Best way to learn technique. We are still totally obsessed with skiing and even spent 3 months in the Alps a few years ago. Have done our first trip this season and off again in a few weeks. An expensive hobby though! Keep it up, Alex, you are brilliant 😊

Yet another great video, Alex. It's always enjoyable watching your experiences of learning new skills and the memories and stories you create along the way with the people you meet.

This was so enjoyable to watch. You make all the new experiences you do so exciting and bring joy to those who follow you. Thank you Alex.

There doesn't appear to be much you cannot do, Alex. I love your self confidence and sense of adventure. You smashed it!

That was a huge improvement in one year, don't criticize yourself , you are doing great , you are from a non skiing country, it's alien to us ,these guys have been skiing their whole lives, it;s there on their doorstep. When you come out of your turn lift up then lean when you are making your turn,, Lift and Lean ,get that in your head Lift and Lean. The lean is the initiation of your turn Practice on wide blue runs where you don't have to worry about it being too steep and you going too fast. Enjoy and be safe.

I got your first ski video as a recommendation from youtube when I decided to take my first ski lesson a couple of weeks ago and in the end I got hooked by all the other of your adventures/journeys, specially the beekeeping and now seeing how you stayed with the 'ski bug' and improved so much in one year is such an inspiration to do the same, even for an old rag like me (48yo), keep it up Alex! Cheers from Canada.

Thanks for this upload Alex, it perfectly captured all the things I also felt when falling in love with skiing. Makes you feel a bit like being a kid again i guess, that is; the whole thing of discovering something new and so exciting + the amazing humbling scenery and nature. Never gets old! Just wait till you start doing some carved turns, it gets even better! I can't wait to go again.

That was fantastic! I loved the grace with which you afforded yourself, the awe experienced with fresh snow through the forest, and joy of our sport ! May you continue to find new challenges and wonders for years to come -- Thank you for sharing. See you on the slopes!

i've been skiing my whole life. i love it, and i'm pretty good at it. and seeing you discover this sport, getting better at it, and enjoying it so much; that really put a smile on my face!

Alex your videos are incredible and have such a sense of life ☀️ Continue to share your fascinating journeys with us
