him]: Turn a left! Turn a right!

Turn a left! Turn a right!

Turn a left! Turn a right!

[Blind Skier (Erik Weihenmayer)]: I think in a blind person's daily life they don't

get speed and that's what I think the most exciting

part of skiing is when you're blind is that you're really moving fast

When you're blind, you're reacting to what you're feeling under your feet

So you're literally reacting instantaneously It's very exciting

or terrifying depending on how you look at life

[Music begins; Jeff and Erik skiing down the hill]

[Jeff]: Turn a left! Turn a right!

Turn a left! Turn a right!

[Erik]: In only eight simple words, Jeff tells me everything I need to know the

slope With each syllable, there's no guesswork.

I know exactly were to be

[Jeff]: Go towards me here. Back to the right, and check your speed, and here we go

We're going to start to ski to the left Turn a left

Erik: To become a blind skier, it takes an investment.

You have to have a good guide who you really trust and you have to build that relationship.

[Jeff]: I have to make sure that somebody up the hill

is not running out of control and is going to take Erik out, or myself out.

I cannot mess up. [Calling out while skiing] Turn and stop.

[Erik]: You can still in bumps, just get completely hammered every now and then, you know?

So it's just part of the, I guess, fun. Ha ha ha!

[Erik hits a snow bank and falls] Woah. I really did hit something there.

[Jeff]:Turn a right! Turn a left!
