harbskisystems.... the instructions in our Online Ski Lesson are in titles (no speaking), so it's much easier to translate if you need to.
BEST ski instructor of all time is Harald Harb. Thank you Harald you have taught me how to ski better and have more fum
Thanks for the comments.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for the videos! I am learning to ski on my own and these videos are great!!! I tried already once and I think I was tilting without lifting first. I will try again with lifting first
I enjoy watching your videos, Harald. They seem to be well designed in all aspects. I can't help but believe that, for years now, multitudes of ski instructors have simply been perpetuating a ' system ' of instruction that was designed to get novice skiers onto the slopes and trails as quickly as possible. With the constant arrival of new students, the instructors are pressed for time. As a result, many of the ' veteran ' novices find themselves scanning the gentler slopes for SOMEONE who SEEMS to know how to ski more proficiently. Being aware of this, I determined from the beginning that I was going to learn how to ski proficiently by following my own ' system '. To make a long story short, I knew that I needed to be able to slow down and/or bring myself to a stop when coming into a group of skiers without having to turn my skis sideways, thereby checking out their sense of humor. I also knew that if I could become proficient at turning, I could turn my skis uphill at whatever angle would be needed to slow me down to the desired speed or to stop. In addition, I knew that if I could learn to turn more sharply, I could QUICKLY bring myself to a sudden stop. Being equipped with these abilities would allow me to avoid other skiers and boarders who might fall ahead of me. Last of all, I knew that if I could learn how to ski down a short 45 degree angled hill and come to a stop among other skiers, at the top of a trail, I would be fully equipped to exit a chairlift. With my plan now in place, I began to follow the example of those individuals who seemed to be the most proficient in each of the first two categories. Later in the evening, I spent some time near the ski racks where I could watch the more advanced skiers approaching the racks at a pretty good clip and then stopping QUICKLY before removing their skis. This is where I also learned that I didn't have to sit down in the snow and wallow around while trying to break my boots out of my bindings BY HAND. The first time that I saw an advanced skier release his bindings with a ski pole, I not only felt like an ass, but I felt like, if possible, I would like to kick my own butt ! I guess THAT is a trick that I missed by NOT attending ski school. For the remainder of the evening, I went back to the beginner's slope and practiced stopping quickly. For the first half of the second day, I practiced all three things that I had learned until I felt like I was ready to progress on up to an intermediate trail that I had inquired about. Due to the fact that I didn't have access to a steeper hill that would be like the one that I would encounter when exiting the chairlift, I decided that I would just have to adopt a type of ' kamikaze ' attitude about it because I was NOT going to be hindered in my progression because of the absence of a hill to practice on. I would simply keep getting back on the chairlift and using THAT hill to practice on. By the second half of the second day, I was successfully exiting the chairlift and skiing the complete trail without falling. ********** I guess that I have volunteered all of this information as a lead up to the following statement. I have been skiing for quite a few years now, and I can keep up with 95% of the skiers that are on the trails on any given day. The information that is contained within these videos has provided the missing link that will allow me to FINALLY close the gap on the other 5% while, at the same time, skiing a lot more effortlessly due to improved technique and balance. ********** A refreshing and welcome break from ' traditional ' instruction !!!! After seeing these videos, I now realize that I was formerly duplicating the techniques of those who were trained under an ' inferior ' system.
I've taken to doing the flat ground lift and tip exercise from the very beginning of this video while waiting in lift lines. Always finding new ways to maximize practice time
So many good reasons to do this! Great for controlling excessive lead change, getting weight forward, early transition to new outside ski and getting inside leg active into the turn.
Где же тут активность "внутренней ноги", непонятно, она же пассивна на всем повороте!
All these videos have complete instruction versions with voice over explanations on our web page. Learning to ski has never been easier and more effective.
Looks interesting . Cant wait to try it out when on the slopes . Thanks Harold .
Brilliant, as always, Harald.
My partner Diana Rogers demonstrates perfectly, how PMTS movements create complete skiing efficiency. What is skiing efficiency? Using the least amount of effort to achieve the highest performance from your body and your skis.
+Harald Harb I love all of your videos and books and appreciate the simplicity of your teaching. One question-- when should the skier incorporate retraction? Is it essentially a speed control mechanism in order to handle steeper terrain/bumps?
+William Taylor Thank you William, we have numerous ways to teach and for skiers to experience the flexing or retracting release. PMTS is based on a balanced skiing technique from the beginning. This assures earlier movements and developments of awareness and timing are used in turns and that are helpful to acquire before the release with relaxed flexing is easier to incorporate. Check our web site or other You Tube videos, for these earlier teaching segments, like home base, pole use and also two footed releases.
Another excellent teaching video!
Just read your book, the videos illustrate the concepts. Thanks!
Wish i had learned this 50yrs ago...never got past intermediate skiing..form always broke on steeper hills...
So even with modern carving skis you still advise to slightly lift the one ski a bit? Some instructors say to keep both carving skis on the ice and just shift your weight to change edges I find that lift the leg sliht or at least lifting the heal slightly geatly makes the turn much more smooth. Please sdvise. Love the beauty of your skiing videos.
.
I haven't tried this, but I am feeling that lifting the heal leads the body mass change then the edge change. So the purpose is same.
Completely opposite of traditional ski lessons, these movements and PMTS Direct Parallel sessions, will get you out of the intermediate trap you were put in.
Masterful.
Такую технику мы раньше называли "непринужденное педалирование"
good...
