10 Hacks for Skiers 

Try crazy tricks at the end of the day, so when you break a leg at least you enjoyed a good day before.

to avoid someone stealing your skiis at the apres ski; switch one ski with your friend and store two odd skiis together. make's it harder for the thiefs to find a matching pair

3:56 if you spray the anti stick spray on the mountain does it cause an avalanche

Don't eat yellow snow.

Shower and brush your teeth on the chairlift, it saves a lot of time.

To avoid lift lines, walk up the hill instead. Cardio + no wait. A win-win situation.

Man, the queueing technique is a secret you had no right to share :D

"Or are a kid, that's the best" 0:43 so wholesome

Tip: On the first couple of runs of the day, ride with slightly loose ski boots so that they can warm up and adjust to your feet - instead of blocking your blood flow early and making your feet cold and/or in pain. Your first runs are often the most casual and easy runs where you get warmed up and back into the ski feel, so you won't lose any desired control from the loose boots. As the day goes and your feet and boots get warmer, you can tighten them up bit by bit until they have a perfect fit, and are ready for your best lines.

*TIP TO GET POWDER TO YOURSELF FOR AN ENTIRE DAY:* If you are into riding sweet powder, and the weather just delivered a huge dump - DON'T go to the big and famous resorts. Instead, go to a nearby small and local resort, because chances are that all the eager pow hunters will be flocking to the big resorts and run the place dry in hours, while you will have the entire small resort to yourself because locals and families normally don't go skiing when its snowing a lot. Personal experience: Was staying in Chamonix a few years ago with some friends, and after many dry days we finally got a huge dump of fresh snow. I advised my friends that we should go to the small local area Les Houches instead, and we had the entire area almost to ourselves, riding in fresh powder every single run for the entire day because everyone else went to Chamonix as expected. Best decision ever! I've done this many times, and it always works :)

Opening your bottle with everything but a bottle opener is the most German thing ever🙈

I also hate queuing, so I get to the mountain early, right before opening. Have a sandwich at like 11 when the whole resort is on the slopes, then ski a lot 12-14 when tourists are enjoying their fondue. Don't forget a little bar or something for the afternoon since I usually get hungry about 15 and enjoy the end of the day :D

If you're an experienced skier and if you want to try all of the slopes, always go to the steepest/hardest slopes first! At the end of the day there will be a lot of snow heaps and you won't be having a lot of fun. Since you are the fittest in the morning and the weakest in the afternoon you should adjust your style and the slopes you ride in order to prevent crashes and have the most of fun :)

Avoid the busy trails by going in the woods and getting lost. Less time on the lift, more time on the hill.

2:40 Bruh did you add the soup powder for your kimchi ramen? Your noodles look white as snow.

Best day to go skiing: 1st of Jauary, really early! The slopes are completly empty

Here are some of mine: 1) Don't put ski socks on until you're ready to put your boots on. Wear normal socks on the drive to the mountains. 2) use Gold Bond powder on your feet right before you put ski socks on. It will keep your feet from sweating - and wet feet = cold feet. 3) When lift lines are bad, that's the time to do any runs that involve hiking or traversing. Spend more time on the snow and less in line. 4) If you carry a backpack, keep a spare set of extra warm mittens and a second balaclava/facemask in there. It's nice to have spares when yours get wet or it gets too cold 5) Get a voile strap for your skis - it will prevent your edges from getting dinged up in the car, and make your skis easier to carry. 6) pay attention to snow conditions on the lift ride or drive to the mountain. If one side of the trees or rocks has more snow on them, ski slopes that face the same way. 7) If you have an old helmet, bring it as a spare. When a friend forgets theirs, they have no excuse to ski without one. 8) Keep a small bottle of Advil in your jacket pocket. Altitude and cold sometimes brings headaches or achy knees, there's no reason to suffer when you could be skiing comfortably. 9) Stretch before or after your first run.

Video quality is so much better this season! Keep it up! I’m coming to Laax next week, can’t wait!!!

Slide the rail down stairs!!! No walking!

The best ski hack I have got is when you are queuing for those massive 100-200 person ski gondolas. They usually only activate the gates for you to go into some sort of holding pen (before the gondola arrives), then deactivate gates when they know it will be full. At this point you either want to be right at the front before the gondola arrives, or the last ones on and position yourself by the doors (either side of the cabin). That way you will be the first ones off when you arrive - not to mention you can actually look out the window rather than be squeezed in the middle looking at someone's back.

At my resort I used to make a area boundary sighn so I could have some tree skiing to myself 😂

Ima try to remember the brake one!

I love the “dude it’s a screwcap” “really?”

I like all the hacks, thanks for sharing!

Remember the lift tower number if you drop anything from the chair ... so you know where to go back to find it. Obvious but many do not think about it!

I love your accent!!! And thanks for equally funny & informative videos like always!

The balaclava teeshirt hack really helped me during riots, far easier to go around with two tees than an actual balaclava, thanks !

I love taking my jacket “on”. Great vid

LOVE THE BEER OPENERS!

Love your stuff bro. You make me smile every video. Then I repeat what you say on the lift with my ski buddies!

Mountain knowledge is so important for hitting the best snow too, having a local to chat to helps so much. Living at a mountain changes how you see it, I rarely visit runs that the public constantly use and hit my known secret spots.

Gear hack: learn to use your gear (seriously). Put your ski pants over the boots once you tighten them. Use the snow belt in your jacket. Learn how to use loops on the poles. Learn how to adjust each piece. I've seen so many people using their gear wrong and not realizing it. Also - wear the full suit at home a week before the trip. You'll quickly find if it still fits, if you did not forget that large hole in the pants from last year and if you still have all the pieces. Do it earlier, so you have time to solve any issues.

Love your channel. Good vibes! Keep it up.

Lunch in the Lift

My favourite hack is doing trails in an order, do the more popular trails you want to do first, then do harder trails, last ride mostly park at the end of the day. It works well for me personally

Great Hacks! I use the tippy-toes to 360 down stairs every chance I get! As an East Coast (US) skier, the snow on the top sheet is super annoying on the old-school, leg-dangling chair lifts; especially when temps are fluctuating all day. I wax my top sheet with liquid hi-gloss auto wax. Shiny skis and the slush just beads right off.

Quality content as usual! Keep it up, mate.

My favourite hack 5 and this whole channel! All i watch from December to April here on the Canada's east coast!❤❤❤❤❤ thank you!

Awesome hacks! I am going to use them for my next ski trip. I take trail mix and energy bars on the slopes to keep me going and Gatorade. Noodle hack is great as well. It gave me an idea on taking soup that is packed in a plastic bag that you can drop in hot water to heat it up

Thanks for the ski pole brake hack. Always hated trying to brake with the poles out in front of me. Also love the hot ramen lunch on the mountain hack. I’ve always loved taking a lunch break on the mountain, but it was always cold, hard power bars. But hot broth and noodles? That’s fine dining with a view. Awesome!

5$ Hot and Ready from little Cesars. Hide it on the mountain, and grab it when you're ready. Always our favorite!

I skied at Christmas and it was brilliant , not too busy and conditions were good

Love your vids!

I'll use the walking down stairs in ski boots one thanks. Man you are a good skiier. I'm British and a loe intermediate but am taking lessons and just invested in my own ski boots with moulded insoles from Snow and Rock shop.

Number 10 is ABSOLUTELY best :))) LOVE IT ,)

Awesome man !

Thanks for this. Loved the openers! Merry Christmas Sir.

Like the ski brake - brilliant

OMG SO USEFULL

You finally do it *shockwave comes* OH CMON!

Hack 3 The pole break - that's exactly how i broke my poles xD

lmao Jens thanks for great vid. keep em coming!

Christmas day has historically been good for me.

Since i spent half of my childhood in drag lifts, best way to relax there, is to put your poles between the bindings and the boots and place the handles under the armpits and lean on the poles. If you are lifting alone you can fix the t-bar of the lift with the inner pole so you can relax most.

You‘re a king for me

this is helpful

About the pole break, I've done that before then accidentally run over a pole then bent it. But was going quite a bit faster.

that ski pole chair blew my mind

Riktigt nice 👍🏻

This video is so nice I used the hacks and I loved them

Love your hacks 😀😀😀

Pole brake - great tip

Good video

1. buy some foam pads for inside the boot to create a most custom fit for your boots, 2. buy super cheap boot heaters and plug them in the car as you drive there. 3. Always scream "close your pockets" after the lift, no one can stand the grumpy friend that lost his new Iphone 4. when its foggy as fuck go near trees the wll give you some reference where the ground is and if there dense enough will not let the fog come so low 5. if you are doing daily trips >2h drive make sure to have playlist that will keep you relaxed in the beginning the last 30mins grab some food and let the music gradually become more motivational. Watch out the speeding cameras and always tell your friends that u will pick them up earlier (30mins for southern europeans)

LOL. Great laughs! Thanks.

eey fan va bra video jens!! as bra hacks!

You definitely ski well!

Wake up early for the shred, ski back to lodge for early lunch before other people go for lunch, go back out during lunch time because there's no one and ski until the end of the day! Tho the instant noodle is a great tip! Defo going to try that!

Great Video. I notice there are many empty seats in cable cars and on chair lifts so beat the queue by being quick also the same with 'T' bar be quick to get to the outside position and share!! Enjoy

great video

your editing is so nice!!

Jens, U r great stand upper!!!! Go ahead)))

less busy, more advanced runs are often easier to ski than beginner runs that are crowded and moguled. Thats a real beginner tip.

Omg its the first time ever I see a youtuber skiing in laax! Same place I always go, in Flims

love it :-)

That opener part is so funny 😆

Wie did I not know the polebreak? :0 Awesome vid!

ty very mutch nice lifehAX!!!

Nice Back Scratcher 👍🏼

thanks

I was wondering if I'm the only one taking noodles on the mountain and eat almost for free. Now I know.

Wait you do all these moves on a flat tail ski? Do you have a special technique for landing switch, or is it just the same as twin-tip?

if your ski place has a singles line, have your group just take that instead. you get put with other groups to sit with on the lift instead of waiting in the long line with your group. if that makes any sense.

Great Video! What is the model of your ski goggles in this video? Thanks in advance!
