    Why is no one talking about the fact you've learnt to fully parallel ski in under 30 days?! That progress is INSANE man! I know people who've been skiing for years who are 'worse' than you! Not to mention the editing is FIRE. You'll be at 1000 subs before December, I'm sure of that!

      @EAGmesander หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, former ski instructor here! So most people go on vacation to go skiing for a week a year, which then gives you 5-6 days of actually skiing.
      When the next time comes around you need to spend 1-2 days getting back into it and maybe with some improvement by the end of the week, which will be gone by the next year when you start. Meaning that you never really maintain any progress or muscle strength.
      But if you're on a mountain everyday for multiple weeks, your body get trained and stronger for skiing.
      then again this doesn't apply to everyone, some people will never learn and others take 1 day.

    • @AthleticsEditz
      @AthleticsEditz หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@EAGmesander Yeah I did think about that. When I go skiing abroad it’s only for a week or less and I only go skiing abroad at most once per year. Because I live in the UK and near to the Chill Factore I can go skiing indoors at a really good centre but again, I only go there around 5 times per year, for an hour or so at most each time. The guy’s probably done the same amount of skiing (consistently) in 30 days as I have in the last 2 years (lmao). Still impressive, though!

    That was really good... not sure why you don't have more subs - the camera work was excellent, and for once you weren't trying to take the p!ss out of skiing like so many others doing this crossover stuff on TH-cam like to do. I think your basic balance and coordination skills, plus lack of fear on the steeper slopes and jumps also comes from your snowboarding experience and possibly allowed you to progress much faster than most.... a great effort mate seriously!

    Switched to skiing this season after 20 years of boarding, not too far from you (Mt Rose). Needed a hard boot for ankle reasons. Curious how challenging it felt vs your expectations.
    For me it was MUCH easier than expected. Easier going through crud, balance is more forgiving, edges don’t catch as easily, more intuitive. I’m used to XC skiing too though, which is 42 mm underfoot with 1 mm sidecut and plastic edges for narrow twisting 20 degree descents.
    I was most impressed with your park skills in 30 days, as that’s a piece I’ve never touched, was too old when I started all this. Fun to see someone else’s journey!

    • @TheRyanMcDowell
      @TheRyanMcDowell  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's awesome! I had pretty high expectations for myself so I guess it was a little tougher than I had expected. It was easy for me to get to a level where I could ski casually but I was hoping to do some tough terrain and bigger features and getting past the basics was tough and obviously there's still a long way for me to grow. Yea the park was fun but oof it really takes a willingness to fall and was the most painful part of the whole thing haha.

      @@TheRyanMcDowell ​ If you asked for my feedback to improve your skiing it would be to learn to carve, which is easier to learn on skis that are 90mm underfoot (or narrower) in lieu of something really wide. I'm talking about dragging your hand on the snow type of carving. You have a significant advantage with your snowboarding background, as you show to be comfortable on steeper slopes and such. My daughters made the most improvement when we made the goal to ski all of the blue runs at Alta in a season, crossing them off the resort map as we completed them. IMO you learn little or nothing from 'surviving' a challenging run beyond you ability. Ask yourself, did I "rip" that run, or did I just "survive" it? And perhaps my favorite recommendation, make multiple laps on the same run so you can focus on technique on a familiar terrain. I generally don't ski off trail until Snowbird has a base more than 50 inches, I use this time to practice my skills while I wait for the sharks to disappear. Lastly, the PSIA has a good list of basic skills that I think any competent skier should have a reasonable command of, scroll down to the list of Level 1, 2, & 3 Tasks here: ​ psia-c.org/education/alpine/alpine-resources/
