I’ve skied well over 4,000 days in my 70 years of skiing starting at 2 years old in 1955 and this is one of the best videos on how to turn that I’ve ever watched. I just wish you had added mention in the video what you do naturally, and perfectly, that is rarely taught or even discussed anymore, that being the position of your shoulders and hands and what we called back then angulation and rotation/counter rotation. Turning using the leverage of of your shoulders makes everything flow without effort, moving your hands just an inch up forces the unweighting and makes it almost effortless to bring the skis around. Of course we were taught this in racing school back then as well as what some of the responders noticed, that being the importance of the inside foot and the uphill ski. Again back in the day when we could not just knock down the slalom poles but actually had to turn around them, we would actually “step up” into the turn using the uphill ski and it’s edge, thereby setting up the edge of your soon to be downhill ski for control. Some would even use the reverse shoulder technique of Stein Erickson to even get closer to the pole. Some of these techniques can still be incorporated using today’s equipment (I do, and today’s great equipment designs allow my continued participation at a relatively high level) and I can still handle most any run with the best of them. Please pay attention to Reilly’s hands and shoulders, it’s what make his great technique look and actually be almost effortless. For another bit of trivia, I’m pretty sure I am the youngest Heli-skier ever, my dad owned a helicopter company that he started in 1956, we actually set chairlift towers at many ski resorts, and he had one based at the bottom of chair 3 at Mammoth (flew rides from 1959 to 1961) before the Gondola was built, sold tickets to the cornice for $5 per person, I flew up to the cornice in one our Bell 47G3B1’s at 6 years old in 1959 and skied down! I would love to know if anyone beats that!

Thansk for the details.... so much more going on than meets the eye...learning something every time I go down a piste

Thank you so much Reilly i will include this video in my warm up before every ski day. 👍

If you study all his videos and break it down you can come a lot closer to this than I thought. It’s about riding the edges and using the energy to move into the next turn. I almost felt out of control at first but once used to it - was quite fun! 80’s straight skier to HEAD Supershape has been quite a challenge !

Beautiful skiing. Reilly, can you pls post some tips on how to maintain forward stance and forward pressure on the steeps? Your short explanations often make more sense than hour long rants from ski instructors. Thank you.

Best demo of crossing under that I've seen in a long time . . . bravo !

Exceptionally good explanations!

Great info. I think I need to join the site again.

Great video Thxs as you tip the skis do you tip both at the same time ?

Awesome skiing as usual! Whitepass turns are so difficult for me. Damn!

I just want to know where you ski that: - has all this nice snow instead of ice - has no crowds at all :)

Fantastic ❤😊

Haven't even watched the video yet and already liked 😂

Riley is a beautiful skier. Unfortunately 75 to 90+ percent of recreational skiers will never look like this because they are in the "back seat" and they have no separation. Ski lessons won't help in the eastern US since most ski instructors aren't level III and can't do this either.

The title of the video, technical details of a short turn, suggests to me that the intended audience for it is advanced skiers. However, Reilly did not provide a comment, at least that I see, about who he made the video for and this might cause some confusion for some viewers about its content.

What stands out to me in this sequence is the inside ski carving (little toe side) where the outside ski, normally the primary weighted ski, is off the snow (unweighted), thus the inside ski is weighted and carving for a time... (note: and w/o the often misleading reference to uphill or downhill ski). I was surprised that this important detail was not described in the narrative since the unweighted outside ski is evident, though not described. Great skiing btw.

I noticed this also. His right ski is sometimes completely off the snow when he starts the turn back to the left. For me it’s the inside ski that sometimes comes off the snow.. I’ll have to try more inside ski pressure to start the turn.

What skis are you using (radius, size: length, tip/waist/tail)? Thank you.

That clip looks like it's from a specific drill. The release in most of Reilly's skiing comes from inside foot.

Weighted release, basically you transfer with your weight on the downhill stance foot and maintain that weight as it becomes the new uphill free foot to complete the release. Then reestablish your weight on the new outside stance foot. Basically one legged skiing drill.

Your videos remind me that I'm not skiing right now.. Gah
