Phenomenal skiing by three of my favorite skiers. Other kids had posters of rock bands or supermodels on their wall, I had you three!

This video is wonderful! For years, I've searched for a demonstration of good form doing ordinary skiing on everyday slopes; but all I've been able to find, until now, were instructional videos with very little demonstration, or demonstrative videos of folks jumping off cliffs and doing things that I will never do or learn much from. But now, there's this wonderful demo, which I will watch again and again, learning every time. Thank you, Deb!

I was at Sun Valley many years ago skiing by myself and one powder day and I kept seeing this couple emerging from the trees covered with snow. Obviously they a) knew where the untracked stuff was and, b) knew how to ski it. It was one of those days back when the Sun Valley folks resisted skiing without the "sun" so the hill was empty. I started discretely following them and finally got the nerve up to hop on an empty seat with them on the lift. After a little small talk I asked them if I could tag along since they seemed to know where the stashes were. The response from both of them was just a long stare that was either saying "no" or "if you can".... We skied probably ten runs together and I remember being deeply impressed with their skill - specially hers. That evening I ran into local Sun Valley friend and mentioned my encounter and he asked their names and all I could recall was that her first name was Christin. He chuckled and told me I had been skiing with Christin Cooper, one of the best skiers in the world!

Its winter again! This is still my favorite video to come back to. The ability to ski so playfully with so much technique is just awesome to watch. It doesn't get better than this!

How could anyone not want to ski after watching this gem! Inspiration plus!!

Such style, ladies! So great to see how Olympic pros have fun.

Beautiful athletic skiers. I’ve always loved watching birds fly and soar. I think all adventurous folks have yearned to be able to fly like a bird. Then it hit me one day in late fall waiting for the snow to arrive. Great skiers do fly. Do soar. Much like barn swallows - the gregarious mini fighter pilots of the avian world (slalom, moguls). The Cooper’s hawk (GS, Super G). The Peregrine (Downhill). The harrier (skiing deep pow). We love that feeling of gliding through time and space in beautiful mountain environs. So much so that while other athletes drop out of their sports in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, we continue. We have no choice.

Oh my gosh this is the BESSSSTTTT. Those other skiers on the mountain have NO IDEA The GREATNESS that you women represent to the sport. They are literally watching WORLD CHAMPIONS skiing right beside them! Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I LOVE it!

Thanks! Here is another small contribution. I return to this video often. It is just plain fun to watch! Love it.

I love all of Deb’s videos but this one brings me back to the 1980 Olympics. My Dad was Chief of Communications and I was an usher for the ice hockey/figure skating events. I was in awe of Cindy Nelson and ended up seeing her at the athlete’s Olympic Village. She was gracious and kind. I still have the autograph! Seeing all 3 of you together is incredible! Beautiful skiers! And thanks for the mogul videos Deb. I’d sit in the parking lot at Park City waiting for the hill to open, watch your mogul videos, and then go tackle the mountain!! You rock!

Thank you Deb for all your help this season with your videos . My last ski of the season was at Stevens Pass @ night and was so dreamy. I always try to implement your thoughtful and helpful tips . Thanks again for all you do for us , it does not go unnoticed.

This is a great video. Really shows the joy and freedom of skiing.

So fun to watch! I love your videos-- thank you Deb!

I absolutely love watching this video. A wonderful demonstration of skiing by three amazing women. Love, love love it ❤️

Absolutely love the fast short swing ( radius) turn style used in this video. You can take the world class ski racers off the race course but they still have that dynamic skiing skill set in their free skiing. We usually only see Deb skiing for teaching videos. In this video we got to see what it looks like when she and her Olympic ski team friends really let the turns Rip at full speed ⛷⛷⛷

I have watched this video many times. I guess I enjoy it!

Love this! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful skiing, ladies!!! Nothing like skiing w friends, but this brings it to a whole different level! Still, just the joy of skiing. Makes me remember a some great days I had at Aspen Snowmass three years ago skiing w friends and helping w the World Cup Finals. I'm not an Olympic athlete, but I sure admire you people, and I do share the pure joy of skiing. It never gets old. Thanks also for all the educational and training videos, Deb! I get a lot out of them.

You are amazing and a great inspiration. Thanks for the coaching

In dark and gloomy times, this vid made my day. Fluid, smooth, flowing skiing. Love it 😉😉

Thanks for sharing, love our Olympic champions! Great footage of Vail too.

What a way to start getting STOKED for the 2022/23 season. Love watching.

Thank you! Love it. Closest thing to being on skis right now. All five Scottish ski resorts sensibly closed now too. Can still feel it all through this lovely video.

Beautiful foot and hip work, amazing art of turning!!!!!!! Great video!!!!!

My favorite video of yours Deb. It is super enjoyable to view the three of you gracefully and yet aggressively sliding down those slopes!

Beautiful video, great skiers, so much passion. I love you Deb, thanks for sharing.

So awesome and why we love skiing...the pleasure of painting a line down the hill just how you pictured it...reminded me of following Judy Nagel down one of the far bowls in Sun Valley many years ago...

One of the most enjoyable ski video I have seen. Great skiing !! Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely loved this! Soo much fun!

Rewatching this to get pumped up for the upcoming season... yess!

You all crushed it! Thanks for sharing!

I’m sure in your quiet moments you realize your living our dream, Deb. Thank you!

Love watching your videos Deb Armstrong!

Just beautiful skiing! You look like twins out there skiing in sync. Our trip to Colorado was cancelled due to the virus, but I feel better living vicariously through you ladies!

You are the Best!Thank you!

That was fun. Thank you ladies!

Thanks for all your great videos. I watch them again and again to reinforce the concepts. Hope I can do one of your clinics someday!

Thank you , thank you , thank you !

Love the nice turns! I wish one day I can ski with that kind of flow

this is insane! you guys are effortless! To spend a day with you learning skiing would be priceless.

Just such great Skiing. I could watch this over and over and never get tired of watching. Love the hands the joy . It’s why we ski . Skied with Kristen couple of times at a pro Am at keystone. You all are just the best

Wonderful video. I feel like I'm skiing with you. I cannot help watching this video again and again.

Love watching you guys rip and having so much fun. I was a big Coop fan back in the day when she was racing. Guess I still am a FAN!

Just watched this video again sitting in a coffee shop in London: headphones on, volume loud, total immersion. As I sit here skiing alongside Team Deb, I can feel the rush and I swear my skiing has improved by the bottom of the run. Thanks for inviting us along for the ride.

Dreaming of skiing. Elbow bumps from Canada.

Wooow, it was awesome to watch you laddies!!! Hi from Calgary!

Poetry in motion! Loved It!!

Awesome skiing ladies.I live in hope that one day I will be as 10% as good as you .You are an inspiration.

Ok ❤️❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼 I love to know what you ladies are riding, 74, 84 underfoot! Ripping!! My hero’s from back in the day! Coops, Nelson, Armstrong killing it!!! I gotta ski with you ladies. Cause it’s FUN 👏🏼👏🏼

Deb! Thanks so much for sharing the skiing with those amazing tram mates of yours! I'm so jealous. Hope you are finding great ways to make the most of these challenging times. Me, I'm recovering nicely

Awesome,, thanks for sharing 👍🏽👊🏽

Wonderful ....you girls are having so much fun.

I live in big Sky and Kristen has passed me by on Marx with ease. Amazing skiers. Lovely to watch.

Wonderful watching enjoy skiing with your old friends.

Really wish I can ski like that ! Envious !! You gals are amazing !

I feel so fortunate to have witnessed greatness x 3! So are the people there that day! They probably don't even know who they saw until they stumble upon this video on KZfaq.

That is really fantastic FUN! Fantastic snow cover! Fantastic weather! Fantastic women!

What a fun video ! Good job gals ❤️

Stuck in the UK at the moment with no chance of skiing but you certainly put a smile on my face and made me want to go and ski when I get well.

the speed ! beautiful & inspiring & great entertainment for those in the ski lift 😆

Thanks for this, and all of your tips and videos available this "shortened" season. Look forward to getting back at it this fall!

The ladies driving ski absolute wonderful - Still going strong

The rolling hills with the trees here and there...WOW!

Thanks Deb love you guys!!!

@Deb - I'm a CDN ex-alpine from same era; I have a tech question for you. First though, what an absolute joy to watch a group of former Olympian women racers freeskiing. Thank you. We were encouraged to use longer poles (especially for SL) than the traditional "elbow right angle" rule from the shops. I believe it was Joubert who said a SL pole should come up to the "bread basket" or solar plexus, so that was that as far my coach was concerned. Old habits die hard, and as I was renewing CSIA IV a few years back, was encouraged to cut my poles significantly. I was skeptical at first, as my MA starts with ski performance and then works up to "hands" etc. Anyway, I was actually shocked at what a difference this suggestion made. It appears to me that you and Coop have relatively shorter poles than Cindy, especially visible around 1:30+ in the video. Have you made any adjustments in pole length over time, and if so, have you noticed any appreciable difference in your skiing?

All of our ski hills are closed because of COVID19. It was lovely to see you having so much fun. And yes, those shaped skis make it so effortless.

You guys having any fun?? LOL You ladies ROCK!!!

You guys are great and you’re definitely bringing the sport back to my heart this last year ‘s been pretty tough. Coop will probably not remember me but I was a salter at the Rossignol race camps for 3 to 4 years at Mammoth Mountain in the summer training groups. We are talk in the late 80s here. Thank you for your dedication to the sport I really look forward to meeting you again someday. Thomyt

Always loved skiing Christin’s Silver and Gretchen’s Gold at Sun Valley.

Super fun to watch!

My dad, Peter, says he knew you. His brother Casey and he were on the Sun Valley ski team in the 70s. My brothers and I got to follow behind Christin Cooper on Mt Baldy a few times.

Beautiful + powerful!

looks like a fun day on skies. Brought joy to my heart. All the Ski areas all closed in Alps :-(

That was awesome.. too much fun..

I think I'm in Love ... it makes my heart beet faster Skiing is not a sport its an art form. Luv & Kisses from the SilverTurfer This virus has closed down our Alps :(

Thanks for showing the joy of skiing on a regular groomed run. It's not all about jumping off a cliff somewhere. A great set of linked carved turns can be so much fun.

I love it!

Style and skill, but most importantly- having fun!

This is awesome!'

Nice skiing!! Thanks for all of you getting out there and have some fun. Unfortunately will have to wait until next year with all of the resorts closed but it will get there make it happen and then enjoy it. 👍👓 ⛷

So great to watch the master 😄

fun,fun,fun skiing with friends making sweet turns. Well done ladies

So good. So so good.

pure awesomeness.

Hopefully one day I can turn so gracefully lol. I'll keep watching your videos Ms. Deb!

Great Skiing!

Finally! Some carving turn vids where skiers plant their poles!

Thanks!

Great, fun video.

Bring them back!!! LOL I know all three of you loved that. If you can get these skier buds to commit some time, you could host all kinds of skiers and tell their ski stories. If possible. Either way love the channel.

I love watching this clip. I want to ski side by side with you one day. All your posse's turns are just so amazing in this footage. Gets me thrilled to think I'll be making turns like yours soon. Thanks for putting out material like this. My endorphins are rising.

Awesome! Old fashion skiing.

Pretty nice and elegant skiing! 🥰

Amazing skiers!!!

Great to see.

Girls just wanna have fun! Love it!

As a kid in the 70's my dad and I stayed in a cabin just down the trail along the Wood River from the Cooper sisters. They were great fun and as I recall, they had a BIG crystal ball. They told me that a witch lived in a cave on Bald Mountain and looked for her crystal ball at night. They had me so scared I wouldn't ever leave the cabin at night. Great memories, even our out-house! Anyone from the Wood River Valley in the 70's remember the town's talking crow "Jim Crow"?

loved it...

Great show for the tow!

Fantastic. looks like you had a ball.
