Harald's method shows you how to use balance and gravity to carve your way down the slopes. It's completely different than what's taught at resort ski schools. Those traditional methods are for tourists and lead you to dead end skills.

In the past, Harald's ski racing programs have created olympic medal winners. He takes that experience and modifies it for recreational skiers. It works!

The funny thing is, Harald's method is 10 times easier than the traditional method. If you want to experience the beautiful feeling of carving and using balance, get this DVD. It will re-invent the sport for you.

This is amongst the worst I've seen in any kind of instructional DVDs. When I tell friends or expert instructors about it, they have a problem with fathoming it; either they live in Norway or Chamonix in France.

The videos by Harold Harb are good, but by no means are they the best. The main problems are that Harold's videos lack good photography and are often filled with fluff material as filler. Harold is clearly an expert skier and has revolutionized ski instruction by the introduction of new techniques, but his teaching on video does not do justice to his expertise. I think this is more the fault of poor decisions made in planning the photography and editing the material. The video is worth owning, but there are other video instruction resources that are superior to this one. By comparison, this video seems dated as if it was shot by a non-professional with home video equipment and not up to the standards that are possible with a good photographer and director and high quality video production facilities.

Be warned this DVD focuses on a "better" technique, so doesn't necessarily reinforce conventional technique. There's some good in it, but it's a little disappointing.

Also what we watched could hardly be considered "Expert".
