Extremely good implimentation of two technical basics and illustration, when to use these techniques and how to adjust the technique to the speed: "flex and release" and "up and forward". And really interesting for all skiers who want to reach a higher level of skiing: please have a closer look not only on how fast Reilly skis, but also on the differences concerning angle and radius of the turns as well as the frequence of his motions. Thanks for the video and a lot of stuff to analyze 👍👍👍
Well that depends if you are referring to the American "system" or the European system. In European (rest of the world) terms I'd say this is at least a red because the camera makes everything look very flat. In the American "system" you first need to specify to which region you want to compare because there is no single standard there. All in all it doesn't matter: most people need a steep(er) pitch for good short turns. On flatter terrain it's almost impossible because the slipped variations take out too much energy when done right, and for all turns the technique is easier on a proper pitch. You have to feel what suits you: too flat and you almost come to a halt when done right, too steep and your technique falls apart. You want to be on the crossover of the two, to progress the fastest.
So basically short brushed turns to short carved turns? Great skiing by the way. I feel like I can do short turns now, but I'm still having trouble controlling my speed on steep slopes, wondering what the secret is.
#ReillyMcGlashan I know it is hard to be exact and I know it changes but can you give a ball park idea of how much weight you apply to both skis and does the ball park figure change depending on the speed?
OK I give up - did you buy your own mountain?!? Perfectly groomed and no-one around? Can I go there? Please? I can't stand the crowds here anymore 😢 oh yeah - nice skiing too 🙂
@@ReillyMcGlashan I only ski weekdays now, in Tremblant (I live 5 minutes from the hill). It's been particularly packed since the pandemic hit. Even waiting I think I've had maybe 2-3 runs without anyone this winter. Seems the ski hills that turned into "resorts" aren't for skiers anymore, and nobody seems to know the mountain code of conduct nowadays either. Shame. I love carving big turns, but now you get yelled at for "taking too much space", or you get almost hit by kids, without poles, on the ice, in a straight line going to a snow park further down the hill. I miss real skiing. And seeing good skiers on the slopes. Which is why I watch your videos - need proper skiing images in my brain to visualize 😎
there is a simple solution to this... get someone to film you and put your money where your mouth is and upload it on your youtube channel.... until this happens no one can take comments like this seriously.
Spread those feet more.... you got two skis use them. I know it looks pretty and works on those wonderful conditions but you don't see a racer or true carver with there feet together like this... think about someone trying to push you over, a slightly wider more athletic stance would allow you to transfer weight and recover... also drive the front of the ski vs the edge below the rear binding.....

Fantastic skiing.
Very educational.Whoever filmed this, Thank You.For RMcG, great job 👍
Thanks Gorski 🙏
Well done!
Thanks Reilly !!
Perfect move 👍
Thanks Jean 🙏
Nice one Reilly!!
Thank you!! 😁
Reilly, I’m looking to buy a pair of Original +, for my progression, which mod on 165cm is more suitable for me? (Leon, Camp 1).
Wow…this is amazing and simply a joy to watch…this is art
I assume this is blue trail in terms of steepness?

very nice, sounds like a little bit of Steely Dan as a bonus

Finish you turn more, if need to go short radius, brush tails to edge set.
More counter. action and balance. And hold it through/until the transition. Harb's second book helps a lot.
nice

you just have to be willing to wait for 10 minutes sometimes for a free run... do you only ski weekends? and where do you ski?

The last sequence was medium radius turn at high frequency.It is not a short radius turn.You mix up frequency and radius.
My definition of medium radius is 2-3 cats widths wide. Call it whatever you want
Ummm…to the last commenter, Gotowire, I’ve got two words for you, Reilly McGlashan. Look him up. Full stop.
😍🔥
🥰
I am short turn KING. Come see me at Whitefish!

The skis are too tight. They should be hip-width apart.
Why?

we call standard - skiding - carving short turn.

The stance widths don’t matter.
