This review is from: Harald Harb's Essentials of Skiing: The Fastest Way to Master the Slopes (Paperback)
Fantastic book! There is too much false and misleading information floating around on the internet these days (e.g., incline your body into the turn, throw your hip into the turn, push your stance legs, jump to start a turn, and that infamous up and down movement). This book can save you from all those junks, because you'll understand what works and why it works after you read the book (maybe for several times).

Beyond the Snow Plow,
By M. Finnell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harald Harb's Essentials of Skiing: The Fastest Way to Master the Slopes (Paperback)
I'm an advanced skier, former PSIA Instructor, and think this is the very best book on alpine skiing using shaped skis (have accumulated some 19 ski books in my home library). Harald Harb backs up what he writes with superb demos of pertinent exercises on green and blue hills, and additional skiing footage on black/double black diamond slopes. These demos are best seen in the 3 DVDs mentioned below. Chocked full of great "how to" information, the ESSENTIALS book contains the salient points of skiing from Mr. Harb's 2 highly successful earlier works: ANYONE CAN BE AN EXPERT SKIER I and II. Mr. Harb begins where ski turns start - the feet - and works his way up the body's kinetic chain in an easily understandable way. DVD demos of the ESSENTIALS book are available for purchase (3 of them) separately: "Tipping", "Complete Upper Body", and "Flexing & Fore/Aft Balancing." Recommend acquiring these DVD's too, however, the book stands alone for enormous instructional value. Finally, if you're a never-ever skier, you might want to start with the "Expert Skier" books and their DVDs, mentioned above.

Great Ski Instructional Manual!,
By Toolman - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harald Harb's Essentials of Skiing: The Fastest Way to Master the Slopes (Paperback)
This is the best instructional manual on skiing I have ever read. A friend recommended it to me, and while I was initially skeptical, I ended up reading it, studying it, and even ordering the videos that Harold Harb produces. My skiing has improved dramatically...and you have to remember I have skiied for many, many years so this is even more surprising to me.Can't go wrong with this one. |
