Kylie Kelce may be a former field hockey player, but she still remembers a particular ski vacation with husband Jason Kelce that put her athletic abilities to the test.
The Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, discussed the fateful — and hilarious — journey with his brother Travis Kelce during this week’s episode of their New heights podcast.
“We went to Aspen for the Winter X Games,” Jason said. “We got to the spot and the instructor said, ‘What’s your level of skiing experience?'”
While the Eagles star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he hasn’t skied in “over a decade,” that hasn’t stopped him from wanting to ski the mountain with Kylie, 31 — who has never skied before, he said.

“I was like, listen, Ky, it’s not that hard — pizza, fries, you’ll be fine,” Jason recalled saying, referring to skiing positions where the ski tips point toward each other and are parallel.
“Pizza, fries!” Travis, 34, interjected, laughing.

Jason said he thinks Kylie will be fine if she goes “at her own pace.”
“We get off that elevator and immediately the pizza doesn’t slow her down, that pizza and pizza down the mountain,” joked the father of three.
Despite trying to help Kylie slow down, Jason said adjusting his own pace “almost” dislocated his hip in the process.

Eventually, the pair made their way downhill, with Kylie stopping 20 minutes later when Jason and Travis were apparently having their second beer at the bar.
“I left her outside to dry again,” Jason recalled.
From Kylie’s perspective, the experience was certainly unforgettable. She reposted a clip of the podcast to her Instagram Story on Thursday and called out her husband for hanging her out to dry.
“The exact words of the woman who rented the equipment were, ‘You shouldn’t be here,'” Kylie wrote on her Instagram Story alongside the clip.
But she added a “shoutout” to Keelie Anderson, the wife of former Eagles safety Colt Anderson, “for being the most patient man on the planet” that day, after Keelie helped Kylie down the mountain.
It’s not the first time Jason has left his wife in the middle of a holiday – and told the story on the podcast. In November, he spoke about a trip to Maui in 2016 when the couple went paddle boarding and a man in the group yelled that he was going to be attacked by a shark — Jason’s biggest fear.
“I’m high tail in reverse,” he said. “I’m not asking questions. I’m not asking questions. This mother just yelled ‘Shark!’ I’m going inland!”
“Kylie’s like, ‘Where are you going, J?'” Jason continued. “I didn’t even say a word. I just kept going straight ahead. I was in full panic mode.”
Kylie later confronted him about not even yelling the word “shark” as he ran out of the water, Jason said, adding: “She wasn’t happy about it.”
