That was too cute. More parents need to interact with their children like this. Nothing wrong with this vid at all. Too many parents are couch potatoes and their kids are video game junkies. Start them off early, and they tend to do better in school and life. Kudos, dad.
What it is about is a father sharing his passion, and the child enjoys it (maybe) but at least he will have the opportunity to enjoy it and pursue skiing later and maybe won't be interested in competition in training at all. The point is to have fun with the child, not forcing him or training him like a future olympic champion, and providing new experiences / sensations
I'm a kids ski instructor. I teach a lot of 3 and 4 year olds (and even a few 2 yr olds). Most of them honestly just aren't ready to ski. Sure, some of them are, but you have to know your kid. You can't just throw them in ski school for 6 hours and expect them to have a great time and make perfect pizzas after one day. If your 2 year is screaming and crying after an hour, you might want to wait another year. If they like it, great. You just need to have reasonable expectations.
yes, he could walk, and talk. he would get out his boots and skis, and ask to put them on, and walk around the house in them, squeeling with joy until he told us he was done. he asked to ski, and we waited for a nice warm day with slow sticky snow for him to try the first time. he had fun, and still loves to ski.
Did all you nay-sayers even read what dad is saying?? the kid wanted to do it. He wasn't being pushed at all. He is on a flat hill. He isn't taking a "lesson". He is just having baby fun with his father who obviously loves him and loves being with his kid. Or are y'all just jealous?
Wow, can this kid even stand on his own? My dad taught me to ski and was a ski instructor and waited until I was 3 my son is 3 this year and will be learning when he actually has some co-ordination and balance.
@pugsostupid I was supposed to learn how to ski at a young age... Sadly my dad started to travel for work and could not be around to teach me. I started when i was 12 on my own effort and this will be my 4th year skiing. I hope that when i have kids i can start them off early like this because this short video has inspired me to.
@usmcook - we found the boots at a local ski shop. they were the smallest boots we had ever seen, so we bought them, then he grabbed hold of the skis while in another shop, and he just wouldn't let go, so he got those too.
Why are people talking about this as an investment? If you think that way, then going on holiday is a waste of money, as the babies and toddlers couldn't care less if you are far away from home, or in the backyard's inflatable pool. And the kid won't even remember it. You can give them cheap food, because they won't remember it, as long as they eat! NO, it's no about the money. It's not about becoming a champion either, we don't invest in kids so they achieve what we wish we had achieved.
@TpSGaming I have to agree with you. As cool as it is to see a little kid carving it up like a pro I don't see the point of a child that has not even seen their first full year on the planet learning how to ski. It's not like waiting for the kid to start primary school is going to ruin their chances of being an elite skier/snowboarder. Besides, they make us old farts look bad, lol.
I really don't think the child has enough control over his own limbs to even begin to understand what his father is asking of him. Not to mention....no helmet.
@tendersin He's 11 months old. He could be eating charcoal and not know the difference? Why are you such a downer? Who cares what they teach? At least they are teaching their child something productive and something that can be a lifelong passion for many people.
The kid doesn't know if you're a bunny rabbit or if he just crapped his pants. You expect him to say WOW, I JUST SKIED 3.5 FEET! Generation CODDLE CODDLE
@TpSGaming I see a lot of little ones by the age of three starting out in lessons at the Bogus Basin Ski resort, and some of them do pretty well :) It's not a waste of money at all.
@TpSGaming this is my second year. the race team, my ski school group, the coaches at the mountain, and all of my friends say i should join a traveling race group. I ski medium and large features in the park with ease, I can carve switch, They say i have perfect form in sl, gs, and carving, the second trail i ever did was a black diamond terrain park which was my 2nd day ever skiing, and ive never gotten a handicap under 9 in nastar, if you even know what that is... P.S. Im 12...
@pugsostupid Got my son started at 21 months (last season) and he was loving it...he skis for free, (under 6 sski for free, lol) and we have god times as a family as a result...OUTSIDE!! Got me two vids of him on here, check'em out if you want, in my opinion, he ripps it upp!! CHEERS!
...It seems more like its something the PARENTS want and not the baby. Another child being pushed too hard by their parents. He should be learning how to stack blocks. But that is just my personal opinion.
sorry this so stupid this kid is far too young to ski. some parents think that their kids are special and can do everything . To me he was wasting his time and the kid time

holy cutie!!!! so adorable! love that you are sharing your passion for your sport with your little one!

that is the cutest thing iv ever seen
The father is Crazy
the earlier you learn to do something the easier it is to learn, case in point: this video...

he's so funny in that adorable bear hat!!!!!! u hould buy him a racing suit cuz it's clear he's gonna be better than body miller!

Cutest thing ever! I learned how to ski when I was almost 30 :( .... When I have kids I'll do the same you guys are doing!
If you were not so mellow, I would say this kid is a little young, but you seem cool about it with him. congrats.
yeah - poor baby...
Did all you nay-sayers even read what dad is saying?? the kid wanted to do it. He wasn't being pushed at all. He is on a flat hill. He isn't taking a "lesson". He is just having baby fun with his father who obviously loves him and loves being with his kid.

So cute. My kids will learn early too
Ahhh! My 10 month old can't even stand on his own yet :) I don't know why this video has so many dislikes. It's a cute kid on skis!
his ski boot is like as big as his leg
Could he walk...? It looks like the boots are keeping him up!!lol
Cute nevertheless...
Awesome!!!! Taking my 2 yo up today!
Wow, can this kid even stand on his own? My dad taught me to ski and was a ski instructor and waited until I was 3 my son is 3 this year and will be learning when he actually has some co-ordination and balance.

At 11 months the waist and neck muscles are not yet developed for skiing. It’s just not safe for those activitie.
@Joel Wexler yup correct again! he did this three times, then off to play in the snow with his puppy, then a nice long nap.
@TpSGaming I have to agree with you. As cool as it is to see a little kid carving it up like a pro I don't see the point of a child that has not even seen their first full year on the planet learning how to ski.

He will be a great skiier one day
I really don't think the child has enough control over his own limbs to even begin to understand what his father is asking of him. Not to mention....no helmet.
so cute!!!!
Nice job! I can Ski, but i learned to Ski/Snowboard at 2 and i couldent stay up and go till i was 4! Nice!
the boots are skiing the kid.
what kind of boots do you have for your kid. We can
Cute!
where did you buy the skis and boots ?? we cant find anything small enough for a 18 months old baby
Love this!
@tendersin He's 11 months old. He could be eating charcoal and not know the difference? Why are you such a downer? Who cares what they teach? At least they are teaching their child something productive and something that can be a lifelong passion for many people.

@usmcook Good Question, I don,t find it possible for 11 months year old to ski
I think those boots are a little on the small side

P.S. Im 12...
wtf some grannys was here for 221 658 time
tyler did shit all
nice. i learned to ski at 2
@TpSGaming there are kids out there that are 4 and 5 years old that are sponsored so you are wrong
@TpSGaming Well...that's your opinion. My husband and I both learned between 1.5 and 2 years old. No waste of money since we get paid to ski :-)
Awsomeee dad i wish my parent taught me at early age
i couldn't even walk when i was 11 months old :/
Cute !!!
can he even walk?
@jsteiger2228 nope, we worked at the ski area
You gotta see the video they shot the day after, when they took their kid zorbing
I back off. Joel's way too sane for me.
Nice 5s
Hahaha so cute
and when hes 2 theyll let him go alone
no helmet ? -.-
I hope you didn't have to pay for a lift ticket to do this!
@Joel Wexler sorry no couch potatos here ;)
He's better than me. And i'm 15. HAH. :L
POOR CHILD..
@pugsostupid Got my son started at 21 months (last season) and he was loving it...he skis for free, (under 6 sski for free, lol) and we have god times as a family as a result...OUTSIDE!! Got me two vids of him on here, check'em out if you want, in my opinion, he ripps it upp!! CHEERS!
@TpSGaming Never too young. He was walking at 8 months...and would bring his ski boots to us to have them put on. He wanted to ski.
@JagoReedJones No...more like the next Ted Ligity. ;-)
@pugsostupid nah im thinking Tom Wallisch
where is his helmet??
To small to fall over xD
...It seems more like its something the PARENTS want and not the baby. Another child being pushed too hard by their parents. He should be learning how to stack blocks. But that is just my personal opinion.
That is do fucked up the baby is miserable
@TpSGaming go play in traffic
O.o
sorry this so stupid this kid is far too young to ski. some parents think that their kids are special and can do everything . To me he was wasting his time and the kid time
