Finally, The Intelligent Method
After being trained by self prescribed professionals of PSIA and being one myself for 25 years I have now found what was wrong with our methodology and technique. Reading this book and skiing with Mr. Harb and Ms. Rogers has re-ignited my love for skiing. The methodology is sound, the results are overwhelming and skiing is more fun than ever. For anyone that is a skier or wants to become one, this is the way to sure success and fun.
The book is easy to read, laid out well and from personal experience on the snow absolutely effective.
Not applying this technique to your skiing or teaching would be a tragic loss of what skiing is all about.
"Ski the Edge, Not the Wedge"

A Great Effort from a Great Innovator
The "Expert II" book from Harald Harb was worth waiting for. It is full of effective tips on how to become a better skier. The two books in this series are in my opinion THE books on skiing to own if your shelf space limits the selection to only two. (A third book to own would be "The Athletic Skier" by Warren Witherell.) Harb's new book is surely provocative (especially his ideas on stance width), but we need to remember that history proves that there are always new ideas coming along, and it would be stupid to dismiss them out of hand without trying them first. I have tried the new techniques taught in this exeptional book, and instantly I became a better skier. I ski with greater finesse, better control, a cleaner carve and I save a lot of energy. The bottom line is that this way of skiing is FUN!!

The real thing!
I have had the pleasure of skiing with Harald Harb and can truly attest to the fact that his method works. I have been a "stuck" intermediate skier for years and with a few new ideas from Mr. Harb I was on my way to breaking out of my rut! This new book provides excellent guidance and information for the skier and the COLOR photos are a sight to see. The photos break down the ideas into step-by-by-step lessons. Great idea! Also a companion video is advertised in the book and it is the most professional ski instruction video I have ever watched. I recommend both of Mr. Harb's books and videos to anyone who wants to have more fun on the mountain!
