Beginner Snow Skiing Lessons : Chairlift Tips for Skiing

[adrenalinerushskier]

i never ever ever put the bar down

[beastdude]

i love chairlifts, way better than drag lifts, plus nice views.

[thecodgod55]

I hate chairlifts... probably the one thing i hate about skiing

[Justin1387]

wow, how high is this guy?!

[treasureyourself]

i was so terrified i just threw myself off and the 2nd time around i just stayed sitting and the guy stopped it i was like man i wud have been ok waiting to go around again! haha i hated getten off that chairlift

[martenoso]

anyone notice how he's a robot?

[existentaeinutila]

so obvious...

[crazypianolady]

@existentaeinutila To someone who's already had experience then yeah, but for complete beginners it's pretty helpful. I wish I would have seen a video on using the chairlift when snowboarding-it's so much harder!

[JayPattersonTV]

i love how he's reading a script.

[TheHJV10]

Thanks alot! These tips will be very helpful! Im still really nervous about the chair lift though

[13nileyrocks]

so am i ! its my first time skiing!

[donperm]

Even though I have been skiing quite a lot I like watching these videos.

I have taken the chairlift about 1 million (?) times - but when I was new to chairlifts it would have been good advice :P

[Seksbox360]

When I was on my ski trip, I didn't really think anything of the ski lift. I was a beginner and didn't know anything about skiing at all. My friends that were riding with me didn't really tell me how to get off so I ended up falling off the side after the chair lift itself pushed me off. Painful.

[anan0]

thank you Dave, your advices are really helpfull for me i'm a very begginer and I'll keep in mind your instructions when i go next time skiing :) p.s chair lift thing wasn't hard for me by the way, I used it only twice :D:D but didn't fell :D:D

[100flipper]

wow. I did it!. It was really fun I came back from skiing yesterday. The chair lift so easy i dont know why I was scared about it. Thanks for all of your advise cuz i took it on board and it helped me a lot.

[100flipper]

I am scared about the chair lift cuz in december Im going on a ski trip and at that place they have chair lifts only and I have never ever used a chair lift and Im really scared. The only thing I have used is the pole thing and an elevator type lift which you dont get on mountains. What lift is easy the pole or the chair lift?

[mwjk13]

the pole thing is dat wat u put inbetween ur legs cos dey do hav dat and wen i went 2 andorra 1st time skiin the chair lift isnt hard

[100flipper]

yes it is the thing that you put inbetween your legs. 11 more days before I go skiing on a mountain for the first time. I have been on a sled but never been on skiis on a montain. GULP!

[mwjk13]

dont worry its not that hard just remember if u fall u r learning thats how i learnt!!!!!!!! also if u hav a good teacher like i did it will b a breeze

[bigapple503]

Good job. Good ..

[musicalsarah3]

HAHA this guy needs to think a little before talking!

[SusanBoylemylife]

wow did not know that jk

[Director1374]

I may get skiing lessons so I hope this guy knows what he is talking about haha

[lessQQmorePewPewPLX]

This guy needs to watch a "how to not forget what your are talking about while you are speaking, resulting in a pause that makes you sound like an idiot, frustrating normal people who can communicate fluidly" video.

[Talk2Luke]

I'm going skiing for the first time in two weeks... terrified lol.

ARGH!

[curioman37]

so am I! I'm so excited though cant wait!

[00Sythe00]

Don't worry, I just went for the first time and it's really fun. You'll fall a little, but it's not that bad :P

[Briantino]

Try not to go straight down the mountain like I did.... was probably going 40 miles an hour and I was 8 years old.. haha

[toddbo2]

Good luck! Remember, everyone falls! Dont let it discourage you. I am in my third year and these videos are really good. I improved a lot in my second year, so keep practicing.

[katjinin]

great that somebody make this videos to people who can't skii. but i still think that you have to have skii lessons if you've never tried it before...

[rudolphna54]

You dont have to keep your tips in one hand.. And You dont have to put down the safety bar.

[Born2killx]

The resort typically enforces the rule that you have to remove the pole straps. And leaving the safety bar up is just dangerous.

[rudolphna54]

No resort Ive ever been to has enforced it. And its not really that dangerous to keep it up. Unless it is really windy, you would have to try to fall off to actually do it.

[toxicprime]

For anyone who is learning from this vid, if you fall, it is also in your best interest to keep your head down.

[phil656565]

yea leads to concussions

[GamerNone]
