Ah, Harald Harb a sensitive subject. OK. Everyone knows I am a fan, that he has been my teacher pretty much since I started skiing 6 years ago and he is a close personal friend. I think everyone also knows that I am not here to tell anyone else how to ski, to convert them to PMTS or to argue ski technique theory or engage in any way in the ongoing war that has raged for years. The reason that I brought up Harald is because JIm has been to a camp and in years past he has talked some about reading his books and has for the most part tried to learn some from what Harald has written.? ?
[Side bar] Not to be smart or "injudicious", but contrary to what Harald says, there is a whole world of skiing out there that he has no effect on. People were skiing long before he came around and will be skiing long after and quite frankly, doing it quite well. PErsonally, I have offered to take one of his classes, I just haven't been able to get with on of the few instructors in VT to do it. If PMTS worked for you, power to you, I am very happy for you, as I am for "Living proof", but nothing works well without effort and commitment. If someone puts the effort and commitment into ANY teaching system with all the camps, they will be successful. Such as with the thread drift into boot fitting, I am all for meeting people at THEIR needs, not trying to mold them into my perception. I see that being done in some of these TM's and I don't think that is the way to teach. There is more than one way to ski well and skiing is art, not science. [/side bar]
