It is Jenny's first time skiing and there isn't a better place to start than Levi Ski Resort in Lapland, Finland. Jacob will be teaching everything he knows, so hopefully Jenny can master the beginner hill by the end of the day. Unfortunately, when we went, there wasn't enough snow to try out the difficult runs, but it was perfect for a beginner.

This is nearly identical to my first skiing experience in Saariselka (North East of Levi) 2 years ago, aged 47 😄 blizzard white out terror at the top of my first run after a few hours on the kiddie learner slope. I could literally feel the tense feeling in my thighs, calves, and back watching you remembering what it was like desperately trying to control the speed and turns. Great effort 👍🏻😁 we're off to Levi in February. Thanks for the video.

@just42tube Жыл бұрын

Surely the first thing to learn is to learn to fall without hurting yourself. I have seen situations where some has been going down a slope even having some control of direction, but being unable to stop or fall safely. Crashing into something because you don't have breaks and can't even handle safe falling is not a good start. I would start first day from falling and breaking speed. It's not so fun way to start, but safety first.

That's very impressive for a first-timer! Our only problem with Levi when we were there (we stayed in the grey apartment block behind you @0:58) was the lack of any blue slopes on the front slopes, so we had to do the same as you and take the bus out to South Point. By the way, there's a little slope with a button lift between Kids' Land at South Slope and the chairlift you went on that would probably have been better to do before trying the blue slope - it's longer than the Kids' Land runs, but less demanding than the blue. And I'm thinking that blue slope was 8.3 - I did that in what were almost blizzard conditions and it felt like my legs were going to go on fire by the time I got to the end of it, so I can well understand how Jenny felt!

But i propably fked that up by parking our car right under the blackhill, so basically, the last hill we were about to take, had to be that black (most difficult hill) . life time trauma for her, after otherwise such a great day, and ever since we havent gone downhill skiing with her😄 and that happened 10y ago🙃 great job from jenny developing so quickly, and jacob being so supportive!

Please, no Levi black runs. You will not enjoy it. Stay in the slopes near South point, they're pretty much the best for you guys. If you want to try the gondola, you can buy tickets and head to the top without skis. Trying downhill sking and Levi black would be fantastic to watch - however not fun to experience. 🙃

@samhartford8677 Жыл бұрын

I mean, I cried when I learnt to ski at the age of 9 (out of sheer terror). And this in comparison is child's play. I used to do the forest trails at 11-12. The last I did was the black slopes at Ylläs and Levi pretty much faster than anybody else of the recreational skiers. (I had a male skier come on the same lift who had tried to keep after me and swore me to high heavens and a female skier who was bettet than me and said this is about skill...) Keep going. You will concur the fear for the sheer enjoyment of speed. Oh, and that fog, that's my Facebook picture under my real name. Ten meter space to ski down at skies pointing downwards (besides the edge of the slope with the markers) at speed, no visibility beyond 5 meters. The most awesome ride down an world-cup slope for me.
