Okay that's a ridiculous amount of progression. I assumed that you had been skiing your entire life with that level of skill! This really inspires me to progress more this year! Awesome progression man and can't wait to see where you're at by the end of this season!

Skied a few seasons in my teens, one day in my 20s. At 50 went skiing for almost a month last season. Was amazed by progress that can be made in a month. Was very satisfied with my carving and separation on steeps within three weeks. Even had a crack at snowboarding. Absolutely stoked to get back into skiing. About to head off for another three weeks.

Jacob! This is extreme skiing! Self-taught! You should have sponsors knocking your door down! Love to watch as I catch my breath! Be safe. Love you

Damn this makes me wish I recorded my progress…. Learned how to connect my carves on my snowboard by my 2nd day of learning. Within 3 weeks I was hitting black diamond tree runs at vail…. Love to see the fast progression !! The results are impressive when you find you have passion for it

Watching this makes me want to move out west for a few years. With a baby girl and just hitting 40. I love seeing the progession and effort you put into getting better and better. Keep pushing, and let's see the 7 - and 10-year video.

It's always a bit hard to interpret on video but you still seem a little unsure, I don't know how to articulate it ^^ Maybe show us some clean carving at the end where you really lean in (that's kind of what I meant, if you've been skiing for a long time you kind of trust the mountain and lean a bit forward, don't really actively break anymore, instead change the carving up a little bit.. increase the frequency instead of putting pressure on your knees to break.. it's hard to explain, maybe I'm just talking nonsense) But I gotta say that you did incredibly well for only 4 years of skiing, good job. I've been skiing for 14 years but I don't really enjoy terrain as much as you do. What you did there looked really good. Props!

You progressed as fast as a young kid would. Impressive. Usually you only see 10 year olds and such progress this fast. Teens really get the hang of things faster than grown adults.

Good job dude, you improved really fkn fast, keep up the good work man

Very jealous with the amount of days per season! Lucky!! I see great progress in the last jump with the ski movement and everything, keep it up!

dang that was quick........ i remember when i went from being scared to do a black to thinking it was too easy... always feels good to be confident

Very nice to see! I progressed to a similar level within my 3 seasons of skiing, I tried it once my senior year with a lesson, then my first season kicked off in college. Except I leased my gear then, which was really nice to be able to switch out skis as I wanted. through videos I self taught my way to intermediate, and plateaued until my second season last year. Where I got fitted boots, and 2 lessons fixed most of my problems and moved me into confidently calling myself a decent skier. I got my own Moment Wildcat 101’s between the lessons, and to be honest they let me get away with so much. Me and you have that “I discovered something I will live for” passion to skiing that you can only get when you try it when you’re older. Fun to see your progression rocket along right with me. Cheers to your 4th and my 3rd season!

Rocking and rolling my dude. God only knows what you'll be doing at the 8 year mark!

Your aggression, and desire to charge is what has pushed your progression. Props. 90% of people don’t have it. But those of us who have that inner switch to just push hard and go fast learn fast and, go fast!!

Great video and awesome to watch your massive improvement. Love that you show your gear as well. I got 9 days last year and was grateful for each one. Living in Texas makes it harder. Can't wait to see more.

Impressive progression. You definitely chose the right skis for year 3. Those enforcer 104s will handle anything.

Dude I love seeing the build up from beginner to expert, really shows how much effort has gone into becoming a legendary skier! Much love my dude

I skied once last year and fell in love. I went about 3 days ago and hit my first black... I wrecked, but I want to be that good one day...

Amazing progress for 3 years, keep it up!

That last jump was sick asf

i thought it would be cool to document my own snowboarding journey, cool seeing what you did

You can see your patience with the turns near the end of the video, nicely done! You need to ditch the touring boots. Most touring boots will have you in a beginner position making access to the front of the boot much more difficult ... new boots will take you to the next level.

nice, I had more or less same experience except I even have never seen any snow my whole life before I move to Norway 5 years ago. For me key is we need to have flexible and durable body to withstand all falling, because for me falling is learning =)) of course not in the no fall zone.

Man you really progressed a crazy amount in just three seasons! Well done, super impressive. How many days did you get each season?

Yeah i wish i could ski so many days in one year like u. When the next Ski Resort is 10 hours away with car u cannot progress.. :) But still i try to go as much as i can, i usually reach up to 10-20 days a Season. ive been skiing my whole life now, and i am at your skill u reached in only 3 years gj !

Insanely nice and fast progression and also very well edited and filmed, really nice quality on the footage as well!

Nice! This is my goal. First year full time skiing, and I’ll ski about 7-8 times this year.

You had some pretty good lines especially on the moguls/bumps. I would’ve followed suit on some of them and I’ve been skiing for 29 years.

little snow out east this year. 🙏lets get some more soon🙏🙏🙏

Came to Utah during the only week and a half it wasn’t dumping winter 22-23 😂 great progression btw. Pretty impressive for three years

Most exccellent progress!

What a video!! Nice work and skills dude

West Coast is easy mode! :p congrats man, that's great progression!!!

Nice dude a amazing video keep progressing.

As a lifelong snowboarder, I highly recommend you take it up as well, if only for how much more fun powder days are If you stance the bindings a bit back on the board, you'll "surf" the snow and basically be on top of it instead of navigating through it as you do with skis

Incredible

I like the film and your fascination, best regards

Awesome video dude!

As an advanced (not expert) skier myself who's just mastering steep mogully blacks, all I can say is bravo! It's not until you attempt runs like yours do you truly appreciate the skill and bravery required to send it on those runs. Thank you for documenting and sharing your progress. I have something to aspire to. Question: what are the various skis you bought over the years? Do you prefer stiffer skis with lots of metal?

Crazy. Good job.

Thats a good amount of progression, but Id advice you to take a ski instructor as from scarce footage I can see you have some bad habits that has started developing, really 2 hours with an instructor will fix everything, its very important at the beggining of your skiing journey. All in all thats a great progress keep skiing :)

wow such a amazing video😀😀

Nice work I never get lucky with poweder

Insane!

Wow dude, this is insanely impressive. This gives me a ton of confidence that I can progress a lot this season. I live in Southeast Pennsylvania, but ski a lot: locally, and take a lot of trips to Vermont and out west. How many days did you ski a year?

nice job

I like how I heard the first 'yew!' at 3 years progression ;) I'm sure you had several more before that though just thought it was funny. What were your factors in deciding each pair of skis you bought & the decision to upgrade?

That’s awesome man, you made sick progress, I’d love to do what you do! I’m out here in CO too, maybe we could do a few runs together, I have Ikon. Hit copper today post winter storm!

I really really really don't understand why people get touring equipment first thing when its the most expensive and technically specific type of gear and then they go off and use the equipment in ill suited situations and attempt to progress in every aspect of skiing from the start... Please hear this if you are beginning to learn how to ski! There should be a primary focus on forming a stable base of knowledge and experience around the simple turn. This is the single most important aspect of skiing. Unfortunately, it is often completely overlooked by beginner skiers these days. I encourage everyone to first purchase cheaper, simpler, basic skis and boots to use while practicing ideal carving form on low angle groomed runs. This should be practiced for at least long enough to develop a consistent form that does not falter. Only once one can execute a series of turns in perfect form on a variety of groomed runs should the skier venture out to all the many joyous aspects skiing has to offer. But please do not reach beyond your foundations before first ensuring you can make that fundamental basic turn in perfect form. (and don't buy silly expensive gear when you have no idea how or where to properly use it)

not a bad first ski at all ! I had a pair of dynafit beast 98 and loved them, since you got touring gear, were you skining up to learn how to ski ?

So statisfying to watch…

incredible! have you thought about sending a backflip this season?

awesome job~!

Looks like you worked very hard to ski the way you do in short 3 years! But to me you are also gifted and a daredevil lol😂

Good on ya

Great progression. How many days did you ski in each year? Why did you always bought similar (from the looks of it) skis and not different ones like carving, all mountain, powder?

Huge progress, congrats! Do you ski any groomers too or are you definitely off-piste lover?

How many times did you get out...how old were you...could you skate before..roller or ice? Great progress.

Are you mostly self-taught? How many lessons have you taken? Every time I'm on a trip, I will take at least 3 hours of private lessons. I have a 5-day ski camp next month, and I'm hoping to progress quickly like you, as I plan to make the transition to off-piste skiing. It's only my second season of skiing (did 10 days last season) and I'm hoping to get in 20+ days this season.

nice idea -- curious what do you do to keep your skiing fresh and interesting, once you've reached an approximate "expert" level as shown here -- and the major progression slows?

Great video. Fast progression. How may days skiing did you get in per year?

sick bro, what camera are you using for the stuff filmed during year 3?

Amazing progression, but why are you buying so many pairs of skis?

Good stuff dude. How you liking the moments vs the 104s?

What was the total cost for achieving your mastery? Great job by the way!

For someone who's just looking to start snow skiing. Can you explain the reasons you bought the 4 different pair of skis and why you did? For each pair??

I will do a backflip this year

do is see that right your first pair of skis have touringbindings equipt, can i ask why?

your skill at 1st year probably took me 2-3season to achieve

You don't need a new pair of ski's every year. I've had the same ski's for 20 years and my dad has the same Yamaha Ski's from like the 60's.

Three seasons, sure. But how many days per season? What’s important here is he doesn’t get spooked. He tries hard stuff and figures it out.

I've got a real question. So when you're on icier terrain or when there are ice balls on the slope is it normal for your skis to look out of control and just wobble everywhere. Cause I always get scared when that happens. Like I just can't quite get to the point where I can slide on the ice. It's always bouncing around.

About how many days did you put in each year? And how old were you when you started? Your progression seems to speak to consistency and effort!

Hi hows the new boa boots you have? Is it hybrid? Great in downhill?

Dang rich kid

Congrats! I don't think the intro clip tells much of your real progress. I hit the East Wall on my 20ish day of skiing using jump turns in similar snow conditions. But after 100+ days I am no where near your level in handling bigger cliffs and straightline chutes.

Oh you rich rich

Very impressive progress! regarding the ski boot, how many ski boots did you buy?

bros going through skis quicker than Candide in quattro

how did u learn how to carve man ?

why did you need 5 pairs of skis ?

Favorite co ski resort?

Did you quit park?

how often would you ski?

Hope you liked tahoe I only ski there its heaven

how come so many skis?

Why buy so much skis? 😅

Nice video but as European u don't have that much time a year to ski because its to flat in west-europe. So u need more "years" to get on the same level as u did. Anyways great progress u can be proud of it!

Bro is a prodigy or something lol

Age?

in 3 years ur not advanced, i ski for 12 years (im still a kid). i would be quatro advanced!

So... actually it's your 5 year progression....

Mhh

It's actually impossible to see any progress here since there is nothing to look at other than ski tips, which look very unstable.. 🤔choosing steep and rocky slopes alone does not indicate any progress in skiing, any fool can do this.

bro you started witha ton of experience this is fake

No te lo crees ni tu

Advanced? That's fucking average
