Careful my friend...….30 year Lake Tahoe Cal.skier here... invest $30 for a group lesson and you will know how to stop ! That's very important...then you will be able to actually go on that run with a little practice and have a great time without risking your life
Haha one time I went here on a church trip and my friend's older brothers convinced us to take this slope, claiming it was fine for new skiers. We got up there and immediately realized it was icy and steep, but tried anyway and I completely busted my ass on the first part of the hill. We had to slide down on our butts the rest of the way.
I so love the trash Talk. Skied many places and have also worked here. Slopes are no Joke when everything is up and running from the top. Had many Skiers from many places say it did not look like much till they were on the slope. Good family owned and operated slope. Come give it a try. Saying is, you can ski Ober, you can ski anywhere. Don't trash it till you try it guys!!!
People say it looks easy. Its honestly pretty steep in person and what makes it alot worse is that its all packed down and ice so you get so grip in the snow and just slide down alot.
@@jamaicanjuice8684 I’ve only been to ober 5 times and I always pick days where there is actually snow on the ground around the city. I went on a day when it felt like I was skiing in the alps because the powder was so good.
this is also blue, this run is called ober chute, if he kept going straight at the end of the video he wouldve merged into the black diamond run but im pretty sure he didnt. i went there a week ago no lessons first time ever snowboarding and i think i did pretty good, after a few runs down the easy ones i went up there and fell a few times on the first try but after you memorize the trail its easy, i cant wait to go back next year.
This is a green/blue terrain where I ski. I'm from the Gatlinburg, Knoxville area and moved to Utah to work at Snowbasin resort. It's blue runs are more intense than the most intense runs at Ober. This poor guy wouldn't have much fun at 'Basin.
What is this blue green thing I keep reading about? I’m from Miami and never skied before and I’m possibly planning to in 2 weeks when my family and I go to Gatlinburg. Please advise
@@michaelcabrera7420 little bit late so you probably already know the basics of this if you did go skiing, but they are trail difficulty markings. They are based purely on how steep it is (you can have a green thats harder than a blue if conditions/terrain is bad). green is beginner, you can usually barrel down these and be fine as long as you can pizza (wedge stop). blue is intermediate. You can get away with wedging, but you have to be constantly braking yourself; you cant just barrel down. (if you can hockey stop you can barrel a bit more tho) black is expert. you maybe can survive barreling, but youll be going highway speeds at the bottom of the hill. wedging does not work. You must know how to parallel turn in order to regulate speed. There might be moguls (bumps caused by people paralleling) which make blacks even harder to navigate.)
i went up the highest point at sugar mountain, i dont know how many times i fell, i lost my lift ticket and went back home lmao, second day i came here and actually learned how to snowboard
I find this hilarious only because when I was 7 years old learning to snowboard up in Montana (blue sky / big mountain, something like that), first day was only bunny slopes, second day was a half day where I was cut loose after getting off the bunny lifts with my instructor, and what did I do next, went up the main lift and my path was to do a blue down, but I turned right too quick and went down a double black diamond, so yeah, I feel ya bro, but I laugh with you not at ya haha
Also Im local to Knoxville so I know Gatlinburg left and right too ha, if you ever wanna brave coming back I can help you with skiing, but I’m primarily a snowboarder, I can’t do the terrain park or go down double blacks on skis without falling ha
I'm gonna have a lot of fun at bear creek pa! :D I'm going to teach myself to ski backwards. I can already do some, and can ski on one foot. Plus I can go super fast and turn at 50mph. We had some speed runs at upstate new york. Hunter Mountain to be exact! My brothers went faster, plus they had better skies, they reached over 60mph. I got close to 60 I believe.
You made the right decision stopping as beginners. The next part of the slope would have possibly injured you if you would have gone for it. I’ve been there hundreds of times and I’ve seen many people carried off on the very next slope which drops down significantly if you had gone to the right by mistake, nearly a vertical drop,,,

Holy shit.. idk how or why I clicked on this video, but I’ve been dying laughing at it.
Hate to break it to ya bud but that runs a blue.

Sign says: no beginners aloud on the black lift.
Jamey: Ok
God dam-it!
"Jeb, we're gonna f'n die" lmao

this made my day! stick with the bunny slopes brother.
Stick to a low-fat diet swine. Don’t tell people what to do.
@@frankn1207 you got problems 😂

Yea it’s pretty intimidating in person. But once you get the hang of turning and slowing down its pretty easy
@@coopb4073 but you also have to learn to turn and slow down on the absolute ice. Probably the least satisfying turns in the world.

gopro effect is real. but the skiier appears to not be able to control/turn/stop himself at all.
@@coopb4073 Gatlinburg wont ever get a pow day like alps or west coast 💀💀
A black run in TN is a green run out West.
Been there, done that. Grizzly is a bit higher up.
Man I’ve been to ober many times and it’s definitely a great place to learn
Easy blue at most. Any why didn't you just snowplough down the slope if it was too steep for you?
Many thanks for the laugh though sir! Superb.
My favorite video ever, I make new instructors watch this
😂this is too funny yall are crazy for that everytime i go there i aay no in not going to do that
I learned how to snowboard in Europe and on that runs here this would b a blue I’m interested to see how riding in the US will be like
this is also blue, this run is called ober chute, if he kept going straight at the end of the video he wouldve merged into the black diamond run but im pretty sure he didnt. i went there a week ago no lessons first time ever snowboarding and i think i did pretty good, after a few runs down the easy ones i went up there and fell a few times on the first try but after you memorize the trail its easy, i cant wait to go back next year.
Have been you skiing since this video? I gather you didn't take you beginner group lesson wither.

Only place I don't mind repeatly falling 😂👌🏼 love coming there .
That’s considered a green we’re I live
Mans Yeeted I live in the south ( I’ve been to Ober) and this is just weak.
Hey, it’s the only place we can ski in Tennessee. 🤣. Heck, I can’t even ski at all.
It’s really a blue but he called it a black diamond
@@coopb4073 not even
@@nuggies5852 what. I’m just saying that he accidentally called it a black diamond when it is labeled a blue
I still laugh at this 4 years later
i went up the highest point at sugar mountain, i dont know how many times i fell, i lost my lift ticket and went back home lmao, second day i came here and actually learned how to snowboard
What month of the year is this ?
Glad to see you gave it a whirl great attempt. Get some lessons def

I mean try carving you basically torpedo down the mountain not smart. 😂
ngl that looks really easy. But it was a funny vid seeing that wipeouts
i was kidding i would hate to picture myself on them skis
When they say learning is fun.... they weren't including skiing. Skiing is only fun AFTER learning.
I'm gonna have a lot of fun at bear creek pa! :D I'm going to teach myself to ski backwards. I can already do some, and can ski on one foot. Plus I can go super fast and turn at 50mph.

I can't believe you would go to the top lift with learning how to plow or carve? You are lucky you didn't break something or hit someone.
That looks like a bunny slope but I did see your ski hit a hole that really sucked cause it had to hurt. That snow looks thin and hard packed
people like this guy make it dangerous for everyone on the mtn. go get a lesson
Y'all just be funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Black diamond? Im 13 and could go down that.. lmao
