[@davidlang9939]

EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION, SCENERY, SKIING ACTION, AND EDITTING!!

[@user-hb2wq2zq6w]

Awesome as always! Thank you very much for the longer version of Foresty Forest's TREE SKIING!!! Loved it! great music! Wonderful filming! You and your dog are so blessed! More more more Please! Love the skiing!

[@amylaws]

And just the perfect amount of puppy ears flopping in the wind 🥰 Lil Rocko is so cute

[@NancyHanson3472]

Foresty, if you ever get tired of producing UA-cam videos, you could definitely have a lucrative career in the film industry as a freelance action/adventure cinematographer.
This footage of you shooshing down the slopes took my breath away. It perfectly captured the freedom and spirit of the mountains. I felt like I was right there with you, skiing both the scenically beautiful sections and the tricky sections of the ski run. Bravo!

[@AZ-vt7dt]

two in a row.

[@janeblackbird6160]

I felt like I finally got to experience skiing! Scary fun, for sure!!

[@tubulartuber]

yeah agreed. though he'd have money...would he have time?

[@catherinerose1146]

I do not know if you understand what an amazing cinematographer you are. As one artist to another - I adore watching your videos. You have an incredible eye and the smoothest cuts. Keep going Foresty! You are amazing. And of course so is rocko!

Seeing Rocko's shadow against the snow with her lil ears just flowing back and forth has got to be the cutest thing!

[@basickarma7331]

No greater love has a pup ever had than what ROCKO has for you! And TRUST!

[@bucky716]

Incredible!!!! Thanks for sharing. The skiing just goes on and on. Can only imagine being out there.

[@vikkirountoit497]

My grin just kept getting bigger and bigger the longer you were skiing. Thanks for giving me a huge smile with this footage! I could actually feel the slope and angle and pressure and wind and I felt myself turning and shifting my weight along with you as if I were skiing again - wow memories are so powerful! Love this!!

[@markvanderstelt8999]

Did you put your skies on.?

[@vikkirountoit497]

@@markvanderstelt8999 Wish I still had them!

[@Supernaut2000]

Oh the majesty of our Rocky Mountains, nothing else on earth touches them!

[@paintingworlds]

Enjoyed watching the shadow of you and Rocko racing down the mountain. Can see how much fun Rocko is having.

[@davebagley6499]

Thanks for letting us feel the beauty of this gorgeous run down the mountain.

I'm too old and f-d up to ski the back country any more but for a couple minutes there the sense-memory kicked in and i was young again. Thanks Foresty.

[@alexandrapham1892]

Love so much ROCKO always. Love ROCKO from the earth to moom round trip.🥰😍😘

Spectacular…. Especially fascinating to see Rocco’s ears turn into wings. 😮

[@Choppini]

This is what skiing us about, at least fir me, unfortunately I can't anymore...my hip. I almost started crying while watching it. Same with the last one. MAN!!!!!! Thank you Simon for another outstanding video 🥰

[@8notoriusinquisitorius87]

I have never been skiing, this was very nice to see what it's like from the skiers perspective, thank you Simon.

[@marthasundquist5761]

Love shadow of you and Rocky...my hubby flies a powered parachute and always tries to get his ground shadow in pics...interesting perspective. Rocky needs ear muffs...bet they got really cold flopping in the wind like that.

[@trailmonstah1892]

Forestry living his best life with Rocco! 🙌🏾

[@nancycain4434]

Beautiful, stunning, amazing . You are one talented dude and you have the most adorable dog. safe travels.

[@alexkasacous]

Love seeing Rocko's flapping ears - she's got the best life! These ski treks are a good addition to your video rotation and also look like great fun.

[@923Be]

Watching the video sunday was like, yes there will soon be a downhill video, I'm going to love it. And indeed Foresty I love these videos, keep them coming!!

[@quietlife7186]

Exceptional, Abundant Living Foresty Forest and Rocko!!! Thank you so much for sharing your JOY with us ❤️!!!

[@Donald_Shaw]

WOW, that video filled my heart with joy watching you (and Rocko) ski down the mountain. Great video matched with excellent music. Thank you, thank you.

[@MrTurner71]

Taking time out of my Hawaii vacation to watch a man and his dog ski down a mountain... Perfect.

[@neilyoungfan]

Wow, that was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched! Fantastic cinematography, perfect music, just everything!

[@DoctorOfSpice]

Ah yes, the adventures of Rocko and her human ski lift Foresty Forest! As always the combination of music and scenery cannot be beaten.

[@trudiswanson9855]

❤ Good morning Simon! Happy to be skiing the powder with you! T. Qld Australia 🇦🇺🐞

[@mountainwench7763]

Wow. Pure magic. As a life long skier, (my mom put me on skis at three years old, It's been 59 years now), I cannot express how blissful this was to watch. The bowls and then the trees! Wow.

[@richards61]

These down hill ski vids deserve a spot on your main channel

[@godsteam8903]

This is fabulous. So cute seeing Rockos head peaking and in the shadow!!

[@lauralu4175]

This is fantastic. Love it all. Rocko is so sweet. It is the sweetest how you take her everywhere and that she loves it as much as you. Just beautiful!!

[@isabelmendi3973]

Cute to see Rocko s head bubbling about. She is such a happy little pup

[@2nd_of_3]

Another long depressing day of trial. Perfect ending ❤ saw the video hit but wanted to wait until end of day. Beautiful 🥰 Peaceful and soothing. Thank you Simon, Love to Rocko 💖

[@dawcee]

Dude. These ski videos are incredible. Thank you so much.

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

Whoa, that was hallucinogenic. The snow starts to look like clouds. Then, the clouds start to look like an ocean. Amazing, well done.

[@markg3025]

Looks like Rocco enjoyed the ride. Totally RAD dude.

[@Pack.Leader]

A mystical experience; even for us watching this video. So thankful I know to follow you on your many adventures. If not for the time you took Steve Wallis on a short hike, I would not know about you.

[@stephanies1047]

So magical, thanks for posting. And I love the ears!

[@carolyns9687]

Wow❤ Just WOW❣️

[@NancyHanson3472]

Happy Earth Day, Foresty: our beautiful and beloved, one-and-only home! 🌎💙🌏💙🌍

[@deborahbolanos938]

Beautiful video! I felt as if I was going down that mountain with you. Wonderful feeling. Thank you 😊

[@billdewar8476]

Thanks for this. 50 years later I remember that ski route clearly. With my friends we had built an igloo under Mt Rhonda and skied it during the day and also by moonlight. We skied out through Peyto lake Arriving at the highway after dark. Hoping to hitch a ride back to Bow lake...we never saw a car. Got back to our car near midnight.. then drove back to Edmonton........Oh to be young again. So glad I did the crazy things I did.

[@MHarenArt]

WOW, that was fantastic!!! What a thrill just watching it!! You are really livin' the life! I squealed with delight when I saw Rocko taking the lead!!! And as usual the drone footage is spectacular All that mountain scenery is almost indescribable!

[@lindab6974]

OMG! So beautiful ... and I love seeing Rocko's ears flapping in the wind. She has to love it.

[@LittleBear290]

Rocco, the mountain climber, the skier, the legend!

[@RamenNoodle1985]

Glad to see Rocko wearing her doggles!

[@justjudy7320]

❤ it's impossible to watch this without leaning in😂😂❤ another classic Simon

[@flannelshirtdad]

My dose of happiness for today😊. Thank you.

[@wdjones4735]

Rocko is quite the skier and tow rope. Beautiful scenery out there. Thanks for sharing! Be safe and enjoy the week👍🏻

[@kat52218]

You and Rocko are living your best lives !!!!

[@tallSycamore]

I bet Rocko dreams of flying after days like this!

[@onlyjesussaves840]

I felt like I was watching a video game there. ;) Wonderful skiing you two did. Thnx for taking us along. :)

[@cindyann5314]

It looks like Rocko is doing the skiing❤ She definitely has the best seat in the house. Wind in her face while staying warm and cozy.

[@adfe8921]

Oh! That was amazing!! Thanks for posting. It was a wonderful vicarious ski down the mountain. 🙂

[@apogeeous]

How wonderful to be able to ski such a wide open space with nobody else around. Thank you for sharing!

[@StanDieckmann-xh8ti]

Wow! On the edge of my seat. Great work on the video.

[@pilgrimpeace7763]

Just incredible to ride along with you and Rocko. Thank you.

[@pierrrejette9023]

Great choice of terrain for someone new to backcountry skiing. Here is a tip. when skinning up, just glide your ski on the snow instead of lifting the ski. Great energy saving for long tours. Rocko is loving this.

[@chrissyday3849]

My husband and I loved this video! Absolutely stunning views. We felt as though we were skiing with you and Rocko. This will be in my favorite videos as a total mood booster🎉 Keep up the good work and say hi to Rocko from us ❤.

[@lynnef3297]

Thank you for sharing such a amazingly beautiful experience. It's something I will never do and somewhere I will never be... thank you for taking us all along with you and Rocko. ❤

[@monicamathis8603]

Absolutely unbelievable. And so peaceful I did get nervous when you lost sight of Lui but of course you found her. One of my faves, this one.

[@bonniepwtf]

I saw my reflection on my screen for a second as I was watching & I was smiling ear to ear. I could easily become addicted to watching the skiing. ⛷️It's so exhilarating! No other doggo would ever believe Rocko if she started telling them about her life. Truly one of a kind experiences.✌️

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Living the dream!
You both are! ❄️😎💯

[@glenysperry3421]

Wow, got this old ladies heart pumping!

[@andybiker-hiker4343]

Really enjoying your videos of backcountry skiing. A whole new dimension to one the best outdoor exploration channels on UA-cam

[@Notascammer1776]

First winter in 33 years I didn't ski.. thanks for taking me along!

[@sijkenyon]

Loving these skiing videos. More please!

[@deborahg4599]

Rocco is a lucky pup. You’re simply freaking amazing to me!!

[@jayoneill1533]

Truly a skier’s dream come true!

[@this-is-slammin-549]

Give Forest some 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Great video! I love the first piece, reminds me of Mike Oldfield. The framing in a number of the earlier shots makes it look like it is Rocco that is skiing down the slope, but then you see the shadow, and Rocco looks like a chest burster out of the movie Alien! LOL!

[@StepvanDan]

OMG edge of my seat!!!!!Breathtaking thank you thank you to cool love your videos !!!!

[@margoburns9085]

Simon, your filming style is next level. Thank you for letting us feel like we are right there with you!

[@michele462]

Oh my. The skiing is incredible. 👍

[@angelacross2216]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@lindaschoenfeld9097]

Beautiful and so relaxing to watch, and Rocco along for the ride. 😊

[@sheilawireman4821]

Okay, I am obsessed with your skiing videos!

[@playnationtoday]

Dude!, given your skiing abilities I can’t believe that you haven’t gotten an AT setup sooner! I know you’ve talked about it in previous videos but I didn’t realize that you had such a skiing background. Glad you got your ski setup, it’ll make you want to go places that your snowshoe’s can’t go! Rock on!

[@josephbcarter]

Foresty thanks for not being creepy, for not using ASMR voice and for not utilizing click bait. All other van life channels eventually just start showing girls in less and less clothes. Your channel is an oasis of cool. Thanks brother.

[@mindym5579]

Always Breathtaking 😍 You are exceptionally talented. An honor to watch you enjoy your life to the fullest. I'm sure the news this week about Lake Mead vandalism has left you angry and saddened. Wish everyone had the same love & respect you do. I adore you & will be a fan of Foresty Forest for life 🤗🌱 💙 & Rocko 🐾

[@maryl965]

That was beautiful! Rocko has the best life ever!

[@isabelmendi3973]

These videos are rather meditative. But very calming.

[@CC58]

Excellent footage, Moresty! Definitely full screened this one! Rocko is living the life!

[@chrisschauble8314]

I'm having a very emotional response to this. When I was younger my family took me skiing. We would go to Mt Hood and Mt. Bachelor every year. There is something about being in the mountains and skiing through the woods. I haven't been in so long, but this video made me remember how wonderful it is. Thank you.

[@sigfigs]

The music plus the POV footage is so calming. I sat here transfixed for over 9 minutes. Thanks again for the upload. Be safe.

[@scottalpert3444]

Total freedom. Breathtaking.

[@ECONOTANKCommander]

Great job! Your videos are so so nice. I'd be wound up in a fuggin pine tree man!

[@cherylp365]

Absolutely beautiful❤

[@d.thorpe2046]

Wow! That was beautiful. The music/visual combo is hypnotizing.

[@NancyHanson3472]

Good morning Foresty, I forgot to mention this earlier, when I made my previous comment, so I will tell you here.
I really appreciate the fact that you included a map to show us that you had moved out of the National Park (and were on Crown Land, I assume) when you flew your drone in the Mt. Rhondda Foresty Forest video.
Peace and eternal contentment to you, oh wise one! 🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉

[@maryt9375]

Wow, just wow.
Love your shadow (with Rocko) against the snow; as delightful as the scenery

[@NancyHanson3472]

Foresty, have you ever thought about making a playlist on both the Foresty Forest channel and another one on the Moresty Forest channel of every video, from the first video to the most recent?
I sometimes use a playlist that another one of your viewers made (that I copied from him) that has 240 of your videos.
Sometimes when I am doing housework, I will put on this Foresty Forest playlist and just let it run, to keep me company while doing some mundane task.
These playlists might help people new to your channel to look at a lot of older videos during one viewing session (since they automatically move from one video to the next).
The more views on these older videos, the more residuals, right?
And CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 396,000 subscribers. Hope you are planning some sort of celebration when you hit 400,000! Woohoo!! 🎉🥂🎊

[@charlotterobinson1302]

What a dog!
