I got the idea of tech skiing from you and Paul at a camp at Hintertux. I saw you guys go carved precise short rounded turns on red/black pitch on bumped up piste that was covered in 40 cm of fresh snow. 95 people of 100 were lost, fithign for live. 3 Austrian Statlicher instructors went down the hill with ease, employing mogul/off-piste style. Only you and Paul went down carving complete rounded short turns like you had freshly groomed piste beneathe your skis. Since than - this is a tech skiing sample for me. Witness it there and than really motivated me and kept the spark burning!
Skiing in powder? Well, in Japan, Reilly and Paul get lots of practice. :)
Awesome video. I’m a 61 year old life long skier and this video sums up my attitude to skiing and pursuits every time I go out. Great explanation and rational breakdown of skiing that is ultimately about very intuitive feeling centered experience.
Great stuff. Yeah, I totally agree. I think most tech skiers regard skiing not as race but rather as a dance. The idea isn't to go fast and be first. The idea is to look fast, look pretty and have fun.
Haha, I love how analytical you are about explaining that it's about having fun. To me, the clip of the snowboarder sums it up best. This stuff is difficult to learn but is sooo much fun to execute.
🤷♂️😂😂😂 yeah, getting a little too techy in my explanation... But yeah the snowboarder really sums it up for me too. Thanks for the comment.
After 55 years of teaching and competing, I am a huge fan of your skiing and video work. Not sure if you believe in synchronicity, but today I spent the afternoon working on a chapter in my second book related to skiing that sought to define and explain what we mean today by 'technical skiing'. As soon as I finished the draft, I went on to the daily check of my youtube channel and your new video was the very first on the list. It included many of my exact same focuses including 'INTENT'. Synchronicity; gotta love it. Great job, and perfect timing, since you reminded me to put more focus on the fun aspect, not just the technique.
Reilly! My opinion is right!
Because it is the same as yours. Absolutely brilliant message. Love it.

Another great video, Reilly! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. Very well put into words! I totally agree. For me tech skiing is about improving my skills, (the never-ending task of) striving towards perfection (both from at performance and aesthetically point of view), achieving certain moves and giving myself more options when skiing - all with the end goal of having more fun and being better able to express myself while interacting with the mountain. /Janus
Thanks for sharing!! We are thinking along the same lines! :)
I’d say there is also an element of ‘art’ to it, and the challenge is to master the art of the turn in any terrain, in a way similar to martial arts, which is much more than about just knocking someone out. Beauty, elegance, style and grace definitely play a big role in becoming a master of tech skiing.
Definitely 💪 spot on
yup great chat here explainging tech skiing. Ive tired explaing it to folk before and have struggled a bit .....for me this type of skiing has had me hooked on chasing maximum feels on all of my runs and made me work on things that add to that . I traded the wide skis for anything slalom and have found with practice and patience a lot is possible. I continue to enjoy a lot of yur content thanks heaps keep it up...
You are soo wright! Tech skiing is the foundation for all skiing.... This is a pure technical sport as a final and ideal result + grace, elegance and smoothness! I love to practice drills every other day even if I consider myself a freeskier!
Very well thought out Reilly!
Thanks Pat!
This is what I amie for when I tech kids and everyone else love it.
I am sure the kids love it!
Nice breakdown. You articulate exactly what I’ve thought for years. Spent many seasons chasing sticks in race courses, love bumps, steeps, pow, crud, carving etc. I tended to think of it all as “free” skiing but that label evokes a particular slant and doesn’t necessarily include good technique.
Awesome description of outcome and application! 27 season instructor always learning. Thx!
100% need more of this!
Hello everybody,
real masters and outstanding skiers, everyone of them......
Thanks for the video and keep well
Tom
My favourite skier is Marcus Caston, comes from a race background and translates that to all terrains. Absolutely blasts down anything, so cool to watch. I've watched his video 'All time' so so many times.
Marcus Caston is excellent! I love his skiing
Agree love watching both Reilly
And Marcus on you tube
I believe that if you have a smile on your face as you ski, then your skiing is on point.
Wouldn't dare to put a video of my attempts to ski however the smile is there
Regards Dave uk
Have you seen his "return of the turn" mogul / bumps video?
@@JayCeeEss1337 Yeah, wish there were more tbh :)
Great topic ! Love the way you thought it 👍👌
Thank you 🙌
i just came to the comments section to learn from the "experts"
remember to lean back when riding powder
@@BroadSword398 thank you! I have found my new sensei.
Keep your hips together.
@@AkatarawaJapan this one is easy. they are stuck together
Nice explanation of your thinking Reilly. I really liked you talking about your intent. I have been using that word a lot, myself, lately. Especially when it comes to doing movement description. I believe it is wholly important to understand the individuals intent before you go into any sort of description of ski performance or body mechanics.
totally agree! Intent is critical
Thank you Reilly! 👏👏👏
As always, interesting topic. Perhaps a bit off topic but I think of another aspect of racing that I would add under "intent" and that would be the need to navigate through gates. Your course down the hill is set (for better or for worse). For a racer, not a problem. As a free skier, I like to have options. This is how I have fun.
always like your video, one thing maybe you could explain more is modern WC mogul skiing technique vs the mogul skiing technique used in tech skiing? in areas like line choice, A-E, edging/carving, knee/hip angulation, etc.
Yeah this is definitely my style
Great video Reilly!
Thanks Bobby!
I have a freind thst skis at Squaw Valley that I would love to see ski wirh these top level skiers like Riley or even World Cup level skiers. He skis through steep, firm, rough conditions as if he was on an easy groomer. I have never seen anyone that skis like him and there are a lot of great skiers here. There is a story of him and his brother skiing with Glen Plake years ago and Plake had to bail after two runs because he couldn't keep up. It would perhaps be a humbling experience, but an eye opener.
Maybe one day!
100% maximum efficiency,with the least amount of effort ! 😍😍
Ah.... this makes me remember the days I could cross the border in a half hour and actually ski. This keeps up, and I’m moving. And when I do ski again, it might even be technical. 😬
It's an interesting point of view, but maybe too "personal" and maybe something is missing.
For example, if we want to define a "complete" skier, we cannot exclude jumping, IMO.
old school freestyle includes jumps and also freeride
Looks like new sport genre.
Do you expect some competition? :)
I don’t disagree with the takeaway but I would have still said there was a closer relationship to the technical events. That effectively we were talking slalom and GS style turns on groomed terrain. Maybe I’m alone. Also you make a lot of comments that the point is not to be the same as racing true. Although your skiing and instruction is far more race inspired. I think generally speaking the more modern race techniques enhance fun relative to more traditional rigid ski school taught forms. More edge angulation, more lateral acceleration, more dynamic. Again what you say in the video is not wrong as to what the difference between being in a race course vs “tech skiing” but taken literally it maybe reinforces rigid or outdated techniques (which again doesn’t strike me as your style)
Yeah Reilly!!
hey buddy how are you?
Should be nice also a equipment testing
Does BASI in the UK aim for tech skiing? On the dry slope, indoors? I bet they'll be back on grass skis soon. Way to go, Island Monkeys on Rollkas!
When's Projected going to make a moguls video?
When the world allows travel and skiing. The resorts have been closed all season where I am. Not one turn has been made.
I need more time on the slopes!
me too! I haven't skied since April last year.
@@ReillyMcGlashan shit...
There's already internationally recognized term as a 'interski'. Why would you want to create or call it a different term by 'tech ski'?
Interski is a congress that all countries that have a membership with the ISIA attend every 4 years and share their ideology on ski technique and learning methods. Interski has nothing to do with what I am talking about in this video which is why it is relevant. Do you know what Interski is?
@@ReillyMcGlashan Well..sure. But as you might be aware or not, the 'interski' is itself widely accepted in asian countries (especially in Korea, Japan and China) as a technical terminology to indicate a specific discipline that you are describing. I am not arguing but just curious.
@@tube7769 The Interski congress has been around for 70 years already, so maybe we should be asking the question why did Koreans, Chinese take the congresses name? (I have never heard this while living in Japan, in-fact the competition is the "Technology" skiing comps which people also refer to it as "tech" from what I understand with my limited Japanese)
Sounds like Asian skiing style like Japan or Korea
I’ve only skied Japan once (Niseko) and while it was super fun the bump skiing was pretty contrived - lots of manmade bump lines that required zipper line type skiing. Seems what he’s talking about here is ability to negotiate a variety of terrain including naturally formed moguls with good technique. Never thought of that as Asian skiing style.
