We've no section for English skiing on J2ski. This is a skiing video from last week, filmed in The Lake District. Great soundtrack, and really enjoyable to watch :D

I've watched it 3 times now. It makes me happy :D Bloomin fit skier too, he carried a Paraglider and a Kite up with him 8)

It's surprising how little snow is needed to actually ski on, if it's a grassy base!

Wonder how his grass landing went?

It's hard enough carrying just skis up, used to walk up Cross Fell, to ski down. There is Hellvellyn ski club website.

You can tell he's going quite fast from looking at the dogs. We have a collie as well, and he can run at 30 miles an hour when he's going flat out (racing our car!).

I would think it would be perfectly possible to ski on wet grass without any snow at all. Anyone fancy trying my theory out?

He posted another kite skiing video on the 30th c/w fit dogs, so he must have nailed his landing!
