I'd love to be back at my ski weight. Skiing the bumps is heavy exercise, thanks again for the great content and for sharing your adventures. I love your mom.
You are absolutely right. Skiing is the best work out. Look at some skiers today, they are in their 75 to 85 years. They're still skiing and I want to do the same. Fresh air, mountain hiking, ( a little ) is the best thing you could do for your body to stay healthy. God job James. Just looking at this video I lost 10 pds. Amazing.
Skiing until 90 is all of our goals! I think the mental benefits and the happiness that comes from skiing goes a long way to helping people live long lives. Glad I could help you lose ten pounds behind the secren 😂😂😂
I live in Australia. Hot place during summer. But I tend to lose more bad weight during winter. And I put it down to skiing. But you are right that there is nothing better when it comes to deleting headnoise and feeling well mentally. Skiing ticks all the boxes for me. The best I ever feel is whilst skiing. Keep up the good work 🤙🏼
Just did my first day out in SW Quebec with some fresh powder lake effect snow all week and it was soooo great to get back out again! Your videos help keep the stoke going while I waited for this season! Thanks man!
This was on Sunday the 3rd, I know this because at 11:09 I was in the small black SUV second from the left. Lol I yelled James like a dumbass, should have yelled rise n alpine, or ran up to you lol. I saw your jacket and new neck guard and a GoPro, was rushing to get up as it was 145pm and I wanted a few runs so I didn't stalk you like a cheaper 😄😆. Hope to see you at the start of April, 🏂⛷️🚡🚠
Yooo! I totally hear someone call out my name. I stopped and looked around a few times and thought I was hearing things 😂. Glad I wasn't going crazy and sorry to have missed ya. Will prob run into you again in April :)
So you are telling me i have been on this hardcore diet for the last 5 months and lost 53lbs when all i really had to do was drink some liquid courage. I wish you would have told me sooner! Let's go!
The hot sauces arrived today! Actually super impressed with both flavors, super pumped to share them with my fellow mountain trolls. Also, you might need to setup a larger bottle format, I foresee myself plowing through these bottles in no time hahaha
Yoooo!!! Glad you love the flavours. Ski Fast Burn Ass Tropical is my personal fav, but the Smokey has got that real long lasting hot sauce burn. A larger bottle is a great idea for all you have sauce sippers out there 😂😂😂
Love skiing, ( btw seen 2 mins of the vid so far so no clue what it comes out being) but it’s sorta like a massive squat and using quads and balance so my guess is it’s gonna be awesome exercise
I'd say it depends on how new you are. If you aren't staying on your feet a lot, you will spend energy on getting back up. And then there is just the question of "how hard do you want to go?", because skiing/snowboarding can absolutely be a leisure activity. For the most part though, skiing/snowboarding is definitely an exercise
100%. If I'm going hard I'm gassed but if I put on cruise control it's a walk in the park. Super nice to be able to control the amount you exert depending on what you're feeling and the snow conditions.
Yeah I ski around 20 days a year in Colorado, I never really lost weight until I stopped drinking. The 2-3 beers apres ski basically negated any benefits I was getting from skiing. Now though, I definitely dropped 5-10 lbs last season. Miss the beer for sure.
The snow was actually super sick. I love those soft bumpy days when it falls hard in the morning and eases off in the afternoon. Mountain gets quiet and the laps are a blast!
For anyone that thinks skiing or boarding isn't a workout....I think you must haven't skied a real mountain lol. Even getting up off the ground on skis is a workout haha
this reminds me of a video of a guy building a backyard rope tow: "Will 2hp be enough to pull me up a hill?" "hmmm so take 1 plus the cosine of the grade of the hill times mass times gravity, multiply it by the coefficient of friction of an average day's snow and of course the frictional force of the rope on the ground and.....--" "wait, the question i should be asking, do I think 2 horses can pull me up this hill??" the question you need to answer for yourself: do you feel gassed/sore/breathing hard after skiing?????
Quick maths 😂 Love the backyard quick maths, rope tow algorithm. Kind of like when skiers throw some snow off a cliff before they jump to figure out if it will go... Skier science 😂😂
I get winded just carrying my skis from the parking lot. I don't know if Skiing is the best workout, but I don't really find any other kind of workout enjoyable so its the only one I do consistently :)
A triathlete I know wore his heart monitor and fit watch fir a week of skiing and said walking is way better exercise than Resort hill skiing is. It does nothing for Cardio
Triathletes are looking for a much different level of cardio. But I promise if you g et him skiing as hard as me for a day, his legs will be blasted beyond repair 😂
I mean it is. But the diet of a skier kinda counter balances it. I don't think anyone who skis or boards really count the calories theyre consuming in the mountain
So true.. Skiing usually equals a burger and beer afterwards :). I have the advantage of not being able to afford apres food. Tight budgets equal a tight body 😂😂😂
Yes skiing IS good exercise. That said, you are not just skiing but also mostly TOURING. Now touring is akin to straight up mountain climbing while wearing weighted shoes, which is the most significant form of exercise i've seen outside of the iron man. So, is skiing exercise, yes. But you, specifically are TOURING, which is definitely high impact, high cardio exercise. 😊
@@mathewmatu6094"it depends". Hiking you carry less weight, usually, but touring is in winter so you care more about sweat management and shouldn't push as hard on the uphill. They're both excellent exercise, in any case
Depends on if you’re actually skiing, or watching a UA-cam video of someone else skiing 🥲
So let's ask a more important question then... How many videos do we all burn while watching UA-cam videos?
I'd love to be back at my ski weight. Skiing the bumps is heavy exercise, thanks again for the great content and for sharing your adventures. I love your mom.

Glad you feel the same mental benefits as I do. What a beautiful sport and feeling!
I love how he plays the song every time he takes a hot shot
Couldn't sip ski sauce without my go to tune!
Just did my first day out in SW Quebec with some fresh powder lake effect snow all week and it was soooo great to get back out again! Your videos help keep the stoke going while I waited for this season! Thanks man!
Glad I could help keep ya amused while you waited for your first turns. Stoked they didn't disappoint!
It is a great workout, obviously for your legs but also cardio
Absolutely!
Family skiing is the best! 20K soon 🎉🎉
I love skiing with the fam!
Love you included mom and sister and that you can actually slow down for them 😅
Skiing with the fam is the best :)
Love how many ideas you come up with. Rooting for you to grow to the top man
Thanks Austin!
You should make your way to gold bridge for epic skiing! Back country or snowmobile access only though
Sick I need to find some friends with sleds!
I just bought my first pair of ski boots. Thanks for being a positive inspirational person. I’m fortunate to have found you on UA-cam.
Amazing!! So excited for you to start your skiing journey and stoked you found the channel. Excited to hear how your progression goes :)
Welp, I'm sold - just bought some hot sauce to pair with our ski season for the ultimate winter workout! #SkiFastBurnAss
Ayyyeee - a few months away from 12-pack abs!
Congrats on 17k!
Thanks Liam!!! Always appreciate your support brother. One step closer to 100k :)

I started climbing at the indoor climbing gym and started to lose weight. Years of mountain biking never had that effect (maybe because MTB=Beer).
The beer to bike ratio is a thing 😂😂
So you are telling me i have been on this hardcore diet for the last 5 months and lost 53lbs when all i really had to do was drink some liquid courage. I wish you would have told me sooner! Let's go!
No need to call Jenny20... Liquid courage has you covered!
Yooo this guys a riot! Lovein this stuff 🤙

Always entertaining.
Thanks Martin!
Thanks again for the content. Might have enough snow soon to ski at a local mountain I have a ski pass too this Friday and burn some calories.
Wow thank you for the support! Glad to hear you're just about to get on skis. What hill is your local mountain?
@@riseandalpine Mt Spokane
I agree. Good fun and exercise to be on slopes during bluebird days 👍
Nothing beats it!
Love skiing, ( btw seen 2 mins of the vid so far so no clue what it comes out being) but it’s sorta like a massive squat and using quads and balance so my guess is it’s gonna be awesome exercise
Totally! It uses so much quads and balance.
I'd say it depends on how new you are. If you aren't staying on your feet a lot, you will spend energy on getting back up. And then there is just the question of "how hard do you want to go?", because skiing/snowboarding can absolutely be a leisure activity.

Apres beers are so good hahahah.
Snow looked pretty solid!!
The snow was actually super sick. I love those soft bumpy days when it falls hard in the morning and eases off in the afternoon. Mountain gets quiet and the laps are a blast!
Skiing is a great exercise, especially for the quads.🎿
100%
How many calories do you burn waiting in the lift line for an hour at Harmony?
Slightly less than the hour fifteen at 7th Heaven 😉
Depends how frustrated you get. More frustration = more calories burnt
For anyone that thinks skiing or boarding isn't a workout....I think you must haven't skied a real mountain lol. Even getting up off the ground on skis is a workout haha
100%
The algorithm is doing you dirty
Thanks! Nothing I can do but keep working hard to make the best videos possible.
this reminds me of a video of a guy building a backyard rope tow: "Will 2hp be enough to pull me up a hill?"

Quick maths 😂

Nice custom icon on the run #!
The ski fast burn ass logo is the best!
The extreme lactic acid build up in my thighs on day one would tend to indicate an affirmative..
I know that feeling 😂😂😂
I get winded just carrying my skis from the parking lot. I don't know if Skiing is the best workout, but I don't really find any other kind of workout enjoyable so its the only one I do consistently :)
I feel you on the parking lot walk 😂. The best workout is the one you do consistently!
A triathlete I know wore his heart monitor and fit watch fir a week of skiing and said walking is way better exercise than Resort hill skiing is. It does nothing for Cardio
Triathletes are looking for a much different level of cardio. But I promise if you g et him skiing as hard as me for a day, his legs will be blasted beyond repair 😂
Feelin the burn.......
Time for a salmon dinner to refuel.
Salmon dinner = more burn 😂
LOL…You Rock…A Natural In Front Of A Camera
Thanks dude!
My legs feel more dead after hitting a few groomers or mogul runs in a row than touring up a mountain, I'd say its definitely a workout
100% - it's a whole different set of muscles
I mean it is. But the diet of a skier kinda counter balances it. I don't think anyone who skis or boards really count the calories theyre consuming in the mountain
So true.. Skiing usually equals a burger and beer afterwards :). I have the advantage of not being able to afford apres food. Tight budgets equal a tight body 😂😂😂
Omg what’s your slope handle! I wanna add you!
I don't really use it very often unless I'm filming so I'd be a pretty boring person to add 😂
Put in 100+ days last year and lost 30lbs without changing diet.
That's insane!! Also 100+ days is the dream!
@riseandalpine Quit my job and took the winter off last year. Saving up to do it again in 2 years.
SNACK TIME nom nom nom nom
Nothing beats a PB&J on the gondi
Or some pancakes on flute bowl
Maybe if your coasting greens all day you won't burn calories. Never tracked it but at the end of a full ski day I'm exhausted 😩
100% - that post ski day exhaustion is real
The mental health benefits is insane
The best!
My mom can't get beyond the green territory!
That does in fact look like you're having fun ahaa
Just a little bit of fun :)
Yes skiing IS good exercise.
That said, you are not just skiing but also mostly TOURING.

So, is skiing exercise, yes. But you, specifically are TOURING, which is definitely high impact, high cardio exercise. 😊
Is touring more intense than hiking? I really want to try it after getting my avalanche safety course
@@mathewmatu6094"it depends". Hiking you carry less weight, usually, but touring is in winter so you care more about sweat management and shouldn't push as hard on the uphill.
They're both excellent exercise, in any case
yoooo wassup this chanel is amazing i lov powder
Hey Hey! I love powder too!
dude you hiked the peak 2 vids ago that would kill most people!! no wonder you lost 10 lbs haha
Very true hahaha. I do an unhealthy amount of hiking.
We need to help him get more subscribers so my canadaman can trade in his ferd efteen fifty for a real truck, like a toyo taco.
Build a camper setup into a sequoia
I mean tele is a good workout. Alpine skiing is like walking in comparison
Tele is totally a good workout!
Come hang out with me for a while, I can feed you MUCH better quality food. Pa king on that extra 15 shouldn't be an issue. Lol!
I probably burnt like 5 calories watching this video. What would be the total for watching all the videos 👀.
Now that's a video i'd like to watch... Let me know the results 😂😂😂
I think l"ll have a twinkie now !
I haven't had a twinkie in forever 😂. Going to grab one from the gas station LOL
