I am pretty sure that Harald was skiing IM 78's in a 177 in the powder. On the groomed stuff, I am pretty sure he is on Head Super Shapes in a 170. He actually skied the pow in his SS's as well that trip and I guarentee that none of us (or anyone else watching) could tell the difference. Technique comes first. Equipment can only go so far in aiding poor technique and that is coming from a bona fide gear nut!!!
Oh my! HH and I have the same quiver! Quick, I need some hellbents to keep from being a HH clone.
the correct term is a "harbit" , "Harble" or a member of the "the cult"

Also, let not forget he weighs about 135pounds? the skis in he video appear to have a black top sheet, there is some vesrion of the 78 in black, but I doont rememeber what is is called. I remember Ross Talyor in Beaver Creek (still teachess there) from the Aussie natl coaching staff used to ski with his Dynastar speed course 66's all season. I skied with him in 18" andnd he just carved it up like a madnman, same thig as skiing with Eric last month on his 4x4's. Both happen to be about 5' 6" and 130 pounds as well. I am starting to think, thats the best size to be a skier???
