Great stuff. they are already challenging some of the things they see in the video like a narrow stance, leading with inside foot calm hands and counter rotating. I love the scenario where you are outside leaning against the wall. My kids thought it looked silly, and then I actually made them put on their boots and do it themselves and they both immediately thought that it felt "right especially within the context of what they had been watching in the video so far and in relation to the slant board training they started this week. I have them do the board on both sides for 5 minutes every other day while I am riding the bike. Harald, your skiing is smooth, elegant and a joy to watch as is the women's in the video as well. I'll watch the video a few more times then crack open the book. Can't wait for the snow to fly.

If you like Expert 2, you should get the Free Skiing video to see how far he has taken his skiing since that was made (which is amazing considering what he was doing back then). Essentials Series is also well worth the cost.

Did you already work through book 1? If not you have jumped too far ahead.

Start with Book 1. Once you have it mastered move to Book 2. Essentials can be read for extra drills and instruction in conjunction with or after reading Book 2.

I am a complete convert. Your style is efficient, graceful and effortless. Already your methodology has made massive gains.. However, I have to ask.....have you always skied like this? Or is this a system/ style derived from years of experience and, dare i say it, maturity? Is there anybody else - apart from Hirscher (who, although is brilliant is not a pmts skier) that your rate?
To use a tennis analogy - roger federer is the master..
