A video of a British Columbia toddler skiing has taken the internet by storm. Erich Leidums has documented his adventurous and fun life with his three kids on his Instagram and YouTube pages. However, it was his recent video featuring his 3-year-old daughter, Adia Leidums, that went viral, which resulted in him gaining over 80,000 followers on Instagram in a month.
“I think it’s great because as much of the content about cute, adorable kids growing up in the mountains, I’m trying to weave in some more meaningful messaging. It’s just that idea of giving them room to be kids and allowing them to fumble and fall… I think (that’s) the recipe for competent and confident kids,” Erich told CNN.
The video that went viral showed the toddler coaching herself and giving pep talks while skiing through trees, ice, and dirt.

Erich said he also documents the arguments and difficulties his family goes through in the outdoors.
“I want to be consciously sharing meaningful content and that involves it to be a bit more real and not perfect and polished,” he said, CNN reported.
