Professional skier Alex Hackel went incognito as a beginner and signed up for some ski lessons in Austria, all just to see how long he could go before the ski instructor realized he was very, very far from a beginner. To pull off the hilarious stunt, he claimed to be a sports journalist from Boston who was filming a YouTube series titled “First Turns”, covering the process of learning how to ski.
Hackel does a seriously impressive job at pretending to be a beginner skier, but the instructor seemed to have a feeling that he was being setup the entire time. Massive shoutout to Pascal, the ski instructor, for not only being such a great sport at the end, but also being such a great instructor throughout the entire video. He was remarkably patient with a guy who showed up looking like a total goof from the start.
