  • 40 years ago I was skiing with a Kiwi ski instructor and she said imagine you are carrying a tray of beer while skiing!

    Yay, my favorite online ski coach has his own channel. About bloody time! 😂 Godspeed!
  • @cvdnl23
    Took me a couple of seconds to recognize your voice Darren from the SKNG Ski School videos I watched years ago, quite nostalgic. Great videos back then in Tignes I believe. Great to see you have started your own channel and you haven't lost your passion for skiing.

    So happy to see you’re back with your own channel. By far the best ski instructor online. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Thanks Darren!

    Classic ski instructor joke with the “Hans Forward” opening. Fantastic.
  • @SkiRedMtn
    I used to have this style that my instructor buddies called “driving the bus.” But at least my hands were in front!
  • Solid gold advice. Eyes looking downhill. Hands forward. Shoulders mostly facing downhill. Of course, shaped skis make them shoulders follow the skis a bit.
  • @alansim6127
    Definitely helps me to tell myself ‘hands in front’ when I’m on a tricky slope - that tends to be when my bad habits all come back.

    Darren thanks for this video. The TV Screen was an effective reference point and unlocked an epic day in the sierras for me today!!!! Thanks again.

    I'm happy to find you again with your simple and clear lessons. You and Valerio Malfatto (Jam Session Ski Academy) are the best ski instructors on the web, in my opinion. Good luck
  • @justyw
    I learned a lot from your SKNG videos. Nice to see you again. Love your teaching style.
  • @jpi3623
    Glad you are back, you thought me to be a better skier watching your videos. I am very thankful.
  • This is the guy that learned me how to ski… by just watching his explanation! Big thanks and happy new year. Wish you all good

    Dan, my eyes are sore from watching too many so-called skiers in bad body position. Just standing on their skis. I hear you! LOL ski guy Frank, Thanks for your get instruction
