And who is reilly?

Lynn,

Reilly McGlashan is on the APSI (Australian) demo team.  Last I heard, he worked at Thredbo and Aspen.  His skiing has improved over the past few years.  3 years ago, give or take, He and Harald got into a bit of an internet flame war via proxies.  Reilly called him out on Epic and chose to make an ill-considered comparison between Harald on recreational skis making short turns and Thomas Grandi making relaxed training GS turns.  Harald responded by pointing out how nonsensical the comparison was (true) and how flattered he was to be compared to an active world cup skier.  Reilly started the fight because Harald critiqued the skiing of Reilly's colleague.  Reilly came in guns blazing.

Reilly is one of the skiers in the videos Max posted in the stoke thread.  He's a far better skier than Rogan, and PSIA should have let him on the US demo team when he tried out (he has dual citizenship, so he's eligible to try out for either team.)
