Leaving home for Austria confuses "Flash".

Skiing on the Glaciers is still in full swing, even if it looks like summer in the valleys.

Alyeska Resort near Anchorage, Alaska.

If you can ski "Alyeska", you can ski anything.

Found the ski that will do everything really, really well!

The ski is, the "Movement",  "Jam" model.

This is a ski that will carve on hard snow, float in the powder, make slalom turns on steep powder runs and still push through crud and heavy wet snow. 

Letting go on the steeps! Hot off piste skiing tips!

If you can change edges, before changing ski direction, you will always have consistent turns no matter how difficult the terrain or the snow.

Skiing the Ridge!

The key to off piste, steep skiing is keeping your upper body rotation under control with counter acting movements.

Air turns? Those boots must be light!

We ski the top ridge way back there, at the top of the photo. All those chutes that line up from one end to the other, are skied.

It just keeps getting deeper, how do the deer survive the winter?

Perfect snow, what a great day.

Hintertux Ski Camp is coming up.

When we hold a ski camp, we don't fool around, this is Hinterux.

We hold a camp here every spring, this year it's in April. Wow! what a place. God's country!

Strong inside hand and arm help to maintain good lateral balance.

Continued pushing forward of the inside hand, arm, shoulder, and hip makes for very strong angles and edge hold. The opposite is rotation, which destroys your turn.

Bump skiing, by Harald Harb using flexing and tipping!

Who said you can't carve in the bumps? By using the techniques I demonstrate here; you to can learn to ski bumps with grace and ease. The whole idea of skiing bumps is to not take any hits. The hollow between bumps is where you stretch your legs and prepare your pole tap.


The proper pole tap in bump skiing is critical, flexing the legs as you come to the top or over a bump prepares you for the new arc.


Lift, tip and pull the inside ski back to set up your skis for further tipping. This sets up your turn early before you go down the steep side of the bump.


Everything I've done has set up the edge angles for holding the skis on the backside of the bumps, perfect control.


Now I'm carving the bottom of the arc and ready to absorb the next hollow. This technique will assure your bump skiing is controlled and that you stay in perfect balance.

Comments about Harb Camps:
Onyxjl:
I was out at A-Basin with a friend on Thursday and Friday and was watching a lot of the Super Blue skiers in the clinic. Aside from spotting the HSS logo on the coaches, it was easy enough to pick out the clinic skiers from the high C in the turns (and of course the piles of head skis on the racks.) The other thing I found impressive about the camp is how little standing around there was. It seemed like the people in the clinic all got their fair share of time making turns.

Nipper:
Well every cloud has a siver lining. In my quest to improve I discovered Harald,s book, Essentials of Skiing. My discovery of PMTS 3 years ago has tranformed my skiing. After 30 years of skiing and with the last decade showing no progress I now feel that at the grand old age of 65 I have plenty of scope to improve. Thank you Harald and all of the contributors to this site who have helped me understand the subject of skiing much better.
