The book features Harald Harb's Primary Movements Teaching System. With this revolutionary new teaching system, whatever your current ability level, you learn expert technique, avoiding the dead-end movements that keep you at the intermediate level. Teach yourself or others. This complete teaching system is suitable for beginners through experts.

Harb is the industry leader in balance and alignment research. Here, he describes the latest developments. You'll learn to select boots and shaped skis to maximize your skiing performance, and you'll understand how equipment affects your ability to move and balance while skiing.

The book contains many photos and photomontages. As well, there are tear-out, color "Pocket Instructor" cards that you can bring skiing with you.
