Thanks to Skibig3 for inviting us to Banff for the week. This was our first day of snowboarding at Lake Louise.

I did this exact same thing in France last week. I saw a guy falling repeatedly over and over while I was on the chair lift, he was getting up and immediately falling down. The first time I just passed by and asked if he was ok, the second time I'd watched him just constantly falling over and over from the chair lift I stopped and chatted. It turned out he'd never snowboarded ever and probably shouldn't have been right up on the mountain. I showed him how to heel edge to at least make it to the bottom of the run safely. He seemed genuinely relieved that someone had stopped to help and see he was ok, he was way outside his comfort zone. Good deed done for the day.
you did really well i wish i had met someone with the same patience the first day i went to the mountain.
I love your teaching style. I've seen a lot of teachers overloading their students with information!
I’ve made the mistake of over teaching many times. The less you say can sometimes be the best way.
What I appreciate from you and your videos is that human connection you provide and that unconditional kindness. I am a newbie, I am working on planning my first time out with some friends who have offered to help teach me and your videos have inspired me to have a positive outlook on it. I am nervous but also really excited.
You are a legend my dude. For going out of your way to help this beginner snowboarder. You definitely made her day.
Kevin, you are such a kind and wonderful person.
Always good to be kind. Rock on brother
Now we need the video on how to keep the experts from quitting due to the price increases. 🤗
I could have used this so badly 3 weeks ago when I went snowboarding for the first time. It's cool you do this stuff for people.
Check out Boardermike videos on TH-cam before you board again, you’ll be really glad you did ! ( I’ve been teaching an alternative to learn to board for over 20 years now).
As an instructor I love watching your videos to help myself become a better instructor (I wouldn't be instructing without the help of SnowboardProCamp as I only started in March of 2023)
Stumbled upon this....way to go both of you. A few minutes of kindness could literally change someone's life. This is how the word stoked came about. Shes going to be thinking about this with positive vibes.
Boardermike videos can give you the confidence to help other beginners also! Please check them out.
Great video! I have been skiing for years, but I am trying snowboarding for the first time next week and can't wait! Thanks for all the great helpful videos!
I will always remember the first time i rode a snowboard. I went up the bunny hill by myself. I didn't understand what i needed to do to stop or turn or do anything. A woman came by and tried to help me but she got tired like after 2 tries of me getting up and not being able to stop on the hill. She got frustrated really quick and told me i shouldn't be on that hill that snowboard wasn't for me. That was a real heartbreak moment for me. Luckily i went the next day with a friend that actually knew how to teach a noob like me. After that second first day i was very sore of the amount of times i fell but it was worth it. I finally learnt the basics and could progress from that point onwards.
Wish I had someone like this to help me, now I just watch TH-cam videos because my first day on the hill killed my confidence.
Hope you get back out there!
Same. My first day was terrible. Went down the hill on foot and the worst part is my board slipped all the way down, fortunately no one got hit. I got no advice whatsoever but got told to put a strap on my board from my foot so it wont go away from me.
But on my next session i was starting to have fun and made some progress! Im sure will as well, just take your time doing the basics don’t compare your progress to others
legendary! she will definitely return to keep trying
kind humans are the type of humans we need
That was really kind of you to help her along. It can be nerve-wracking to go by yourself as a beginner. I noticed going with friends seems to be easier when everyone is learning. Heading out next weekend solo on a friend's buddy pass so we'll see how it goes. Thanks again for the videos and the e-encouragement!
Nice I'm from Brazil and currently living in Vancouver. On my first try, I almost gave up because I've tried ski and thought "oh winter sports isn't for me. ok to difficult" after I tried snowboard I fell in love!! we don't have snow in Brazil (I had never seen snow before imigrating to Canada), but I liked snowboarding very much. I'm very obsessed with snowboarding now. This is my first 'full' season (okay, the conditions are worse now at North Shore), but I can ride on blue runs, do some carves on green runs, and I'm waiting for good weather conditions to try running my first black run.. I just need to improove my ride skills to run with "high speed" because I'm very afraid with high speeds and dampening isn't very precise. sometimes I end up braking the board a lot because I got scared..
Have fun out there progressing! Hope the snow get better for you too
I had the same feeling when I first started, almost gave up thinking this wasn't for me but am I glad I didn't. So much fun
Awesome man, I learned to snowboard a lot from your vids. I was in Loveland ski area in Colorado this weekend . Blessings !
Hope you had an awesome time!
So sweet of you! Wish someone helped me like this LOL After 15 years of snowboarding but only one day of year, still toe is super hard for me! I'm always on my heel getting down that mountain.
Yay! I’m so glad you got a chance to get out here! Wish this winter was better snow but the secret spots were fun to watch. 😊
This is so nice! You're such a great teacher!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love this video. My big goal is to lose weight and snowboard within the next year as a life goal. Going to copper this weekend and am chicken out on taking lessons. Your videos really make this look approachable. Maybe I will get the courage to try next season!!
I’m gonna try to teach my friend how to snowboard over spring break. Wish me luck y’all ✊😔
Kevin you’re an awesome person!!!!
that's amazing! youre a snow angel!
I'm a straight dude and I wish Kevin would hold my hands and magically make me better at snowboarding! 🤩
Boardermike videos will help you way fast, check them out .
You’re such an empathetic coach!
Love how committed you are to helping everyone learn, sharing your videos ( tips, tricks and spirit ) and especially for taking the time to help this snowboarder. I just got my CASI level 1 so next year looking forward to instructing and your videos about beginners will help form my approach! Keep up the great work ( and I'll try to do the same thing if I see someone struggling - aka- random acts of kindness !!!) Cheers- keep up the great work!
Yes!!! Welcoming people to the sport rather than making people feel shy and awkward. Love it🎉
Im so surprised how did she manage to do it. Personally i cant do my toe edge at all i am so unfomfortable with it. Respect to her and you guys ❤
Awesome Kevin ....well done . Cheers from Schweitzer Idaho !!!!!!!
For you and your friend to take your time to help her finish the run while you are visiting Lake Louise shows so much about your character! The content you share on your channel are so detailed and helpful for all boarders! However, this one really hits home for a beginner boarder 🥹💛. To be able to see and hear the compassion you have for others and genuinely empathizing with her while rooting for her is so wholesome!
Thank you and your team,
NB-AB Canada
God bless you, dude!
I've never snow boarded before. I have always had the interest in favour, against the ski's. It looks so much more fun.
After watching your video, I would love to give it a shot, but having read some of the comments, I wouldn't want to learn from anyone else barr yourself ❤, so I am subscribing to follow your content.
Thank you for helping this woman. You are such a nice person and are so considerate.
Peace and Love Brother 🕉️
Hey Kevin! Just want to say thank you for videos and everything. I’ve been watching your videos for years and always want to learn snowboarding. Today is my first day in the mountain. I had a lot of fun and all your tips are super useful!!
SOOOOO RAD! watching some beginner videos the last few days with my 10 and 13 year old daughters...so we can be a bit prepared for their first trip to Lookout Pass. My son went recently for his first time and that kinda got us wanting to try it as a family. I haven' t been on my board in over 2 decades...my old boots no longer fit me, but the Morrow E3 boots and bindings fit my son, so he lucked into a set of step-ins....i might keep my old deck though...lol
I'm planning on a beginner lesson for the youngest, and might try to do that myself for my 13 year old. I'll be watching some videos but if you have any specific videos or tips I'd greatly appreciate it.
liked and subbed! I was sure this was a good channel inside the first minute of the video!
keep shining bro
You’re the goat Kev
Great instructer
Made my day.
Amazing!
Lucky you showed up. That would have been a long trek if she walked all the way based on the distance you traveled
Nice job
Made someone’s day 😎🍻
crazy why a complete beginner would ever try going on such steep slopes...
I went for a 2 day trip with friends and i had to leave early the second day. I kept catching the toe edge and slaming forward onto my chest. After a while i got the shakes and just pshyced my self out.
Awesome that’s always the hardest part for noobs
The first few days are the hardest
And that, is how I met your mother :)
😂
I have only completed 1 season. I am comfortable on blue and can do black but don't like it.
One time I saw someone struggling and I gave them pointers and helped them the way I was helped in my lessons. My friends yelled at me saying beginner's should not give pointers. What's your thoughts on that?
I love how you ride goofy I do to
Hi, I would like to ask your recommendation about teaching my kid toe side. Do you have any suggestion?
You can see in the video when he helps her get toe side. Simply let the nose fall down the fall line then go back into toe side pressure. Repeat over n over. Toe side to fall line back into toe side. Do the same with heel side then you can start to link turns together.
And kids, that is how I met your mother.
😂
I got a question, the outside of my front foot hurt a bit while om riding, but not when im walking with the boots outside if riding. Any advice?
Reasons why im a lone wolf haha .
Hey kev is there a live chat happening this weekend?
Definitely! Sorry I missed the last two Adam. Been too busy and a bit under the weather.
@@SnowboardProCamp no stress Kevin, we have missed the what is kevin eating this week live stream haha
I wonder if she or any friends will stumble across this video!
Did really well!
is it me or does it seem like her bindings are set for goofy and set back a fair bit on the tail?
I noticed that too. A rental shop would have set it up centered and duck stance. I'm wondering if she borrowed someone's board for a trip.
0:28 you are wearing black pants, Oakley goggles, and a Lake Louise helmet.
A few seconds later you are wearing orange pants, a Clew helmet, and Outdoor Master goggles… 🤨
So you helped her down, changed gear, and then rode up together again and helped her down again?? 🤨
The first guy could be the filmer.
That was my buddy I was riding with Alex. He was behind the camera most of the video
@@SnowboardProCamp that makes sense now. Was really confusing
Really nice to help someone but she is learning very little here. She is going to catch a lot of edges and smack herself on the piste doing this. This is a very slow way to learn and will be very painful.
She hasn't really learnt anything and you have merely helped her get down the mountain. This is not what I would call a lesson. It's painful to watch and a wasted opportunity.
@@williamgurney4226what’s a the better way to learn? Juste picked up snowboarding and I am around here level
why can't you come save me
That hill is WAY too steep for a beginner
seems like a love story))) do u get her phone number?
Snowboarding is honestly such a hard sport to get into. We definitely need to be encouraging more people to get over the hump of controlling their edges so they can really open up their potential, and progress onto the more fun stuff like carving turns and park riding.
