The complete set: Harald Harb's Books and DVDs
In this set is the "Anyone can be an Expert Skier 1 and 2 books and videos/DVDs". The Essentials Book and DVD set. This can be purchased on my web site (the link is on the right) separately or together.
This is most complete ski instruction library and reference guide to modernize your skiing. Get them today, or as Harald says, "You will be making the same old turns for another season".
Use your legs to flex into the new turn.
Extending or vertical movements
in skiing destroys your carving
and edge hold.

Reinfried Herbst leading World Cup Slaloms for 09
Is Reinfried Herbst the best slalom skier in the world? He is on a streak and has only three countryman to worry about. Marcel Hirscher, Benni Riach, and Manfred Pranger. These skiers are brilliant, fast and steady. The Olympics are just around the corner and this may be a totally different situation as the snow is different in British Columbia and the number of entries in the Olympic Slalom has a limit of 4 skiers per country. Stay tuned for an exciting year. I watch skiing on Universal Sports Network.

Ski Practice 1: Counter Timing
Counter Acting is the movement that turns
the upper body or torso away from the
turning direction of the skis. This movement
is critical in all skiing, without it you have
no power to release and you may end up
with rotation in your skiing that causes you
to use excessive upper body movements.
Excessive upper body movements throw the
body out of balance!

Rare sighting of Austrian Mountain Goat
These goats are called "Gams" in German, they are hunted for their meat and therefore are elusive even though their natural predators are rare or non existent. The French word for this type of mountain goat is Chamois.
