Wish I had seen this before my first time coming off one. Completely fell over and slipped and just faceplanted. Had to stop the lift as my bag got caught on the chair and dragged me through the snow. Contemplated just jumping off the mountain right there.
Grisha the last time I tried a button lift the snow literally ran out and dropped down a miniature cliff, I don’t think I’ll be attempting them anytime soon
This is my 4th year snowboarding and the chairlift has always been my arch nemesis. I noticed you still held on to the chair as you're standing up on your board. This makes so much sense as it gives you a bit of support to regain your balance before letting go. Will practice this during the season. Great video!
Cooper Kyritsis hahahah I lauged a lot of myself. Even :') ai tried for very first time 2 days ago and I made someone else fall because of me hahah omg I felt so bad for him but it was so funny :') I hope to learn it another day!
I'd recommend holding ur board up off the ground once you've first sat down. Lifts can pick up a lot of speed quickly, so if ur snowboard is dragging in the ground, it can pull you off and injure ur ankles.
the first time i went with my instructor on the lift i totally slipped trying to get off. I landed with my butt on the back half of my board and i had enough momentum that it carried me down through the landing area while i was still sitting. i rode my board like a sled a good twenty feet before I stopped. im sure the guys working the lift got a good laugh out of that one
Thanks for doing this vid. I have been snowboarding for years and still fall getting off a lift. It takes all my confidence away. I wonder if I just psych myself out and that causes me to fall due to the anxiety.
I'm basically in my second year now and the lift still haunts me. But yesterday I practiced one foot riding for about a quarter of a run and that made the next life easier. I fell more on the one foot riding than actually riding and it was frustrating but I think I have to figure this out to make the life an easy task. You're a year later so I'm sure you're a lift pro by now :)
hey Kevin, one suggestion for riding chairlifts that dont have a rest for your board. instead of resting the board on top of your foot like you did, put the heel cup of your bindings on your toe. the reason for this is that the boards edge can cut at your laces and boot. i have some good slashes on my boot from this. now i always use the heel cup instead.
I’ve been told by instructors that I have the most complicated falls (off the lift) they’ve ever seen. I don’t care so much about fallling - it’s more that it’s become a vendetta to be able to do get off correctly consistently. Big fan of the gondola!! I’m learning to board in my late 40s... wish I’d learned as a kid when there’s no less fear and no job to be at (intact) on Mondays. Love these videos. Wish o could take lessons in person!
Thank you Kevin. This tip with toe stopping is very helpful! I've been riding for 4 seasons and still have not enough skill for one foot riding. Please make a video to increase this skill!
+Анатолий Симонов I'll put one out this season! Lots and lots of practice off the chair definitely helps!

I’m going on my first ski trip with a couple of my friends who have experience, and I’ve never snowboarded before. I’ve been watching all of your videos and they’re super helpful, I’m honestly so nervous to embarrass myself.
Good tips! One-footed boarding is something all beginners should practice. Bunny hills or hills with small slopes are perfect for getting the feel of it.
Riding with one foot is what i have issues sometimes, your advice of the other video about pressing your free foot against the back binding was pretty good, thanks 😁
Damn, maybe it would've been a good idea to practice before trying it... I faceplanted on both ends of the lift. Guess I was just cocky because I'm a skier, and ride the lift all the time on skis.
Thank you very much for the video. I am going back to practice snowboarding again this year. So far, I have not successfully survived at the end of the chairlift yet!
Thank you for this! I fall every time I try to exit a chair lift, so I now know I need to practice my one footed riding and dragging my toe to stop (haven't been doing that!)
This helped so much. I fell anyway, but that's okay. It was particularly helpful when getting off the "tapis" or the ski conveyor belt that brings skiers and snowboarders up from the bottom of the slope. By days 4, 5 and 6, because of this video, I was able to come off that conveyor belt without falling, looking cute and confidant.
Your tips when I was first learning to ride the chair really helped me out. Although I was always under the impression that you should avoid dragging your back foot since you can twist your knee or otherwise hurt that leg. If that is the hardest chair you guys are so lucky! We have chairs with steep ramps and an obstacle course of fallen/stopped beginners at the top (not only on the beginner chairs). And early/late season the show under some of the chairs isn't high enough for my short legs so I have to take a little hop off.
Dude gave me a whole board and boots at work today. Bouta hit the hills after work. Never snowboarded before but I surf and skateboard so I think we’re straight bro
Flat ramp is easy. Tips for when on the outside and the ground slope drives you toward the center and other people? I try to shoot out in front of the person next to me (or have them shoot out in front) when it's tight.
Thanks for the tips. I will be going on my first snowboarding adventure next week. These tips will help me. I will keep you updated on how they helped me. And I also just became a subscriber 👍🏽
Big hills/mts have great chairs. The slopes in the midwest have so many people you need to be like lightning for the lift to work! So many people who do not know what they are doing.
A tip from someone who took quite a while to get confident at chair lifts. If you're having trouble and think you might fall, Take an outside seat not an inside one, this means that if you lose balance or slip or whatever, you can fall to your left or right, or can turn left or right and you wont hit the other people on the chair. If you're in the middle and start to fall odds are you're taking someone else with you and making the situation far worse than it needed to be.
My uncle sent me this because I still hang on to him every time off, and yesterday, my board got stuck under his, and we fell, he hurt his butt and got really pissed... I’ve been boarding for 5 years...
thabk u omg i’ve been a skier for years now and have recently switched to snowboarding and the lifts are so much harder. i fell down my first time and got dragged my the lift
To be honest I hate this devious invention. They should make seperate single person chairlifts for snowboarders. Last year I gave up and did ride up by grabbing snowboard in my both hands, jumping off at the end and running down then getting it on. Luckily I was not alone doing so and no one gave a sht about this.
@@kwnna07 actually, i wouldn't. I've been doing that for a while in Switzerland but when I was in an other ski resort in France, they said, I must leave in on one of my feet. So they basically forced me to learn how to get off the chairlift properly and now I know. It is truly not _that_ hard but you have to practice it for a bit more than a skier. Just don't worry, try it! What I recommend is that trying to use the board with one foot at some plain place (like a skateboard) for a while and then you'll be able to stay on the board while getting off the chairlift.
when I went skiing one year I stayed on the chair lift for a bit to long (i was already comfortable with going on and off the lift) so I had to jump off. First time jumping high on skis, landed it first T. Now im doing snowboarding bc im a skateboarder and it seems more fun
Thank you so much Kevin I appreciate this vid so much! I'm good at riding down the mountain I can even olli and do nose and tail presses, but when It comes to the lift I just can't do it. looking forward to my first ride of the season tomorrow!
I wish i wouldve watched this before yesterday. I rode for the first time and was very surprised at how good i did. One problem i had was getting off the lift. The hill i ride has a very steep unloading hill. I would usually try to use my edges to stop instead of the boot which would result to me falling.
I've been boarding for years and I still come a cropper occasionally getting off the chair, usually when other people do something unexpected or fall in front of me... it's cool though, shrug it off and chuckle about it..... the one foot technique they mention is a good tip! Although have you covered drag lifts? Lots in Europe, not sure about the US though...
Little late to the party probably but I think he left out the biggest tip; buy yourself a spiked stomp pad and place it with your boot maxed out position against your other binding (the binding with no boot in it) Since I have done that I have a lot more control coming off the chair and I don't fall anymore. Braking with your toes is a good tip though and I use it a lot.
Hey Kevin, It's my first season and I think I'm doing well, heel sides and toe side turns, linking turns getting confidence with speed running most green runs without falls...... except the chairlift and one foot riding.... so bad I now am missing the last part of this season with a broken leg getting tangled up off the chairlift..... there's got to be something I'm missing with one foot riding. Can you do more on that please?
First time snowboarding I fell off lift and board went up my cooch. I laid and cried there for thirty minutes. This was 15 yrs. Ago. I'm about to try round two today wish me luck 😂 watch out if you're at boreal.
Tip: Sit on the very right side if your left foot is still in and very left if your right foot is in it. Then, once on the lift, take the strap near the ankle of the open one and attach it to the arm rest/ bar. Your leg won’t hurt from holding the board. (Just make sure to undo it before you get off)
Some advice for getting on the ski lift is just let you skis slide on the snow. If you put you toes down or try to pull them up, it hurts. I found this out with experience.
Wish I would've known this the first time I went to a resort 😂 I didn't even know there was that little hill so as soon as I got off I face planted and the next people kinda ran me over. Ended up being one of the most fun things I've ever done though
That is a proper title indeed - going to the mountains with my beginner skills doesn't scare me - I'll get down that mountain just fine, but the chair lifts...now those are scary to get on, but mostly getting off...and to put a cherry on top...I'm scared of heights 😅 Survival it is.
I have taken 3 days of lessons. got ready for the chair - oh.... I failed! I could not ski on the board or stop. So, thank you for this video. Going to try again.
It's best to rest the heel-cup on your foot and not the board. The board's edges have a tendency to chew up the boot and/or laces. I've had to replace a few sets of laces until someone pointed out what i was doing.
They need a tut on how a skier and snowboarder ride a chairlift together. One time I was getting off a chair lift and the skier beside me put their pole on my board and pushed off when I was trying to get off at same time. I fell on my back and had to scoot on my butt to not get hit in the head by the chairlift.
I always snowboard in Austria, and I am so surprised by the fact that a lot of chairlifts in Canada or the Us are so different, they in canada sometimes dont have a feet bar to rest your board on or they just have 1 bar to prevent you from slipping out, meanwhile in Austria if you would jump in that lift you wont even move 😂
Great video, although I think theres one key point you missed: Skate out of the way of the 'landing zone' at the top: I see so many beginners sitting right in the way of where the chair stops and its just bad for everyone
I want to add, I see a lot of beginners (including my self) holding on for dear life at the end, then it forces them to lean back and it makes them slide out and fall. Put your hand on the seat and not behind it at the and, it will fix a lot of falling issues.
Last year, I took a kid and his dad down when getting off the lift. The kid yelled, "LADY hold onto the chair and stop the board with your TOE!" hahahahaha
I actually get off the chair lift by doing a regular heel turn to stop and that helps me get to the right hill and not have to skate to get to it and sometimes i even do a regular toe turn to stop but the first time i came off the chair lift i just let my self go and i tried my first turn to do a stop and in the beginning i often just fell on purpus to stop
I went snowboarding for the first time every yesterday and I was complete beginner and I had a group of like 5 people that were gonna teach my friend and I a lesson and they took us down a slope for like experienced riders. I never just a chance to practice one footed riding or what now. I fell pretty badly getting off the chair lift.
The first time I went on a chairlift was in 6th grade on my snowboard. I was with my teacher mrs.palahicky. I was not prepared lol. I ended up waiting too long to get off and jumped off from really high. She kept going and they had to stop the machine because she went around! We were laughing so hard about that time. She made my fist chairlift ride way less intimidating.
Wish I had seen this before my first time coming off one. Completely fell over and slipped and just faceplanted. Had to stop the lift as my bag got caught on the chair and dragged me through the snow. Contemplated just jumping off the mountain right there.
Dovahkuunt nooooo :-( that sucks
@Unknown Hooman ouch
Had the same experience. Got faceplanted TWICE 🤕
Some dude had to stop the lift and pull me off
I realize I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?
this honestly helps. lol. no matter what, the chairlift is my enemy.
omg, you don't tried button lift xd
Same
Grisha the last time I tried a button lift the snow literally ran out and dropped down a miniature cliff, I don’t think I’ll be attempting them anytime soon
But without it you wouldn’t be able to get up the mountain

This makes so much sense as it gives you a bit of support to regain your balance before letting go. Will practice this during the season. Great video!
I jump forward off the chairlift and slide down the snow like a penguin. People laugh at me but its effective.
Watching people fail at getting of the chair lift is one of the best parts of snowboarding
Cooper Kyritsis hahahah I lauged a lot of myself. Even :') ai tried for very first time 2 days ago and I made someone else fall because of me hahah omg I felt so bad for him but it was so funny :') I hope to learn it another day!
You're welcome :)
Thats fucked up😂
Lmao fr i always get second hand embarrassment tho XD
as a constant ski lift faller, i can confirm😂
I'd recommend holding ur board up off the ground once you've first sat down. Lifts can pick up a lot of speed quickly, so if ur snowboard is dragging in the ground, it can pull you off and injure ur ankles.
Yup been running into this issue lol.

Yeah they probably shit themselves

+Cherie Mullins Practice a few times off the chair to help build your confidence!

Our easy runs have difficult exit paths. Short and curvy. It freaks me out so bad. Makes me wanna stick to skiing.
I remember a few hours before my first time snowboarding, I was watching this video...I nailed the lift the first time lol
This gave me a little confidence I have to do it in like three hours
@@savannahf9905 how did it go i’m going snowboarding in like 2 weeks and wanna prep before i go
@@angelsantana I could only go one way so make sure you should practice jump up so you can turn and jump

Pro tip: don't pull the restraining bar down, it's lame. Safety is lame. You want to look as cool as possible kids, so the bar is a no-go
Ben Dover hahahah this is so true
Evan Cosman exactly what I was thinking
also, when ski patrol puts stakes up in front of features to close them off, ollie over them to show everyone you're boss af
There is no restraining bar at all where I go lol
Ben Dover don't say that that's so mean
be carefull if your gopro is mounted on the top of your helmet, I often hit mine with the restraining bar 😂😂
+AdventureHeiko sorry to hear that! Good tip though!
SnowboardProCamp I'm talking about my own experience 😂
AdventureHeiko yeah that's happened a lot to me but now I put my GoPro on my helmet when I'm at the top
I think I took everybody down with me the first couple times...😁
Thank you! I’m currently in Italy snowboarding and I fail at the exit 50% of the time and 50% luck success! Great vid

Hahah same here!!!
xpierogix I’m confused
Okay, been to snowboarding again this January and leart how to get off from the chairlift. Not that difficult anymore, lol
So guys you would reccomend a begginer to prefer holding the snowboard in both of his hands rather than putting it to his feet?
@@kwnna07 actually, i wouldn't. I've been doing that for a while in Switzerland but when I was in an other ski resort in France, they said, I must leave in on one of my feet.

Wishing I saw this before going on my 1st chairlift. But I'm going boarding today so this will totally help
It also helps to have a stomp/traction pad. I always put them on my snowboards and personal fav is the Crab Grab Shark Teeth.
M’y 5th time on the chair lift I feel off from really high and I was stuck my foot was stuck under the chair lift. This really helped me thx
Going to Whistler for a science conference in March, figured I would snowboard as well.. too bad I'm terrible at it! hope these videos help me.
thanks man.chair lift not a problem, the t bar , with ski ruts is another. Any tips....thanks again....
Bro this was perfectly done thank you for this 🙏🏻
I went for the first time yesterday and absolutely stacked it off the lift. I wish I had watched this first!
I like the explanation of letting the ground come up to your feet and the camera angle when you come off the chair
I wish i wouldve watched this before yesterday. I rode for the first time and was very surprised at how good i did. One problem i had was getting off the lift. The hill i ride has a very steep unloading hill. I would usually try to use my edges to stop instead of the boot which would result to me falling.
In Switzerland and Germany are extra bars to hold the snowboard or ski. They are attached to the bar, which you have ro pull down.

Can someone teach me how to fall off a chairlift
thank you for the tips they realllllly helped me on the lifts
Thanks man, I'm gonna try snowboarding next week. I feel confident.
the lift slope at my nearest mountain is so steep. its like a 60 degree decline.
First time snowboarding I fell off lift and board went up my cooch. I laid and cried there for thirty minutes. This was 15 yrs. Ago. I'm about to try round two today wish me luck 😂 watch out if you're at boreal.

My wife busted her ass coming off the lift on her first time... It was pretty funny.

Some advice for getting on the ski lift is just let you skis slide on the snow. If you put you toes down or try to pull them up, it hurts. I found this out with experience.

Whenever I get off the chairlift, I catch an edge and faceplant. :(

i love you so much kevin
works and looks wonderful
Thank ypu I had so much fun 🤩
I have taken 3 days of lessons. got ready for the chair - oh.... I failed! I could not ski on the board or stop. So, thank you for this video. Going to try again.
Perfect video instruction.
Dude, Thanks for explaining stuff that is embarassing for newbies to ask about! First day snowboarding tmrw!
Thank you so much I was so worried on how to do it
It's best to rest the heel-cup on your foot and not the board. The board's edges have a tendency to chew up the boot and/or laces.
I've had to replace a few sets of laces until someone pointed out what i was doing.
Today is my first day. Can’t wait
Have fun!
Dude the one at redlodge for Miami beach is like super steep. Dang that is not a bad incline.
One of these for the button lift would be ace!

Haha, just talked about ''me always failing the chairlift'' with my dad. Funny that a few days after, this video came online.
Last year, I took a kid and his dad down when getting off the lift. The kid yelled, "LADY hold onto the chair and stop the board with your TOE!" hahahahaha
Thank you! I've been faceplanting on purpose just to get off of it and to make sure my daughter does too :-D I have no shame :-D
I actually get off the chair lift by doing a regular heel turn to stop and that helps me get to the right hill and not have to skate to get to it and sometimes i even do a regular toe turn to stop but the first time i came off the chair lift i just let my self go and i tried my first turn to do a stop and in the beginning i often just fell on purpus to stop
pls make a video for how to ride the cable surface lifts. Last year I had a lot of trouble with those
Thanks for the video. Although I’ve never been within 500 miles of a chairlift I’ll keep this in mind.
Very good suggestions
I went snowboarding for the first time every yesterday and I was complete beginner and I had a group of like 5 people that were gonna teach my friend and I a lesson and they took us down a slope for like experienced riders. I never just a chance to practice one footed riding or what now. I fell pretty badly getting off the chair lift.
Wait couldn’t I just put my other foot in the binding while I’m on the lift? And just stand up and go like skiers?
The first time I went on a chairlift was in 6th grade on my snowboard. I was with my teacher mrs.palahicky. I was not prepared lol. I ended up waiting too long to get off and jumped off from really high. She kept going and they had to stop the machine because she went around! We were laughing so hard about that time. She made my fist chairlift ride way less intimidating.
