Ski improvement can feel chaotic at times, with conflicting advice, mixed results, and inconsistent feedback. However, inside the Academy, you're in great hands with the world's number one ski coach, Harald Harb, and his team. You'll get a complete, step-by-step roadmap for your ski improvement: from movements, to ski fitness, equipment selection and setup, and on-snow exercises, with consistent video feedback along the way. Nothing is left to chance. Here's how it works.

Introducing Harald's Consistent Skiing Roadmap: your step-by-step guide for consistent turns with speed control. Inside the Academy, we'll teach you exactly what to move and when, before you need to, so you're always ahead of the game.
It's near impossible to improve two things at once when you're skiing. Movements happen in split seconds. A single focus equals power. We call this single focus the single most important movement (SMIM), the one you can't see, feel, or detect yourself. Video feedback, coaches and community members will help you identify and polish your SMIM to a 10 out of 10, and then polish the next, and the next, and the next. There's no limit to where you can take this.
Harb Carvers are definitely optional.
A great day on the hill, then it's gone. For most skiers, progress fades between ski trips. Inside the Academy, you keep improving at home with in-boot training, mobility and ski fitness that build the exact movements you need on snow. Then you take them to the hill with Green, Blue and Black on-snow programs, or even to the road on Harb Carvers if you're feeling adventurous.
Inside the Academy, you learn the same primary movements on green, blue and black terrain. What you master on the greens, you take to the blues, then the blacks, just dialing the movements up with more strength and mobility. That's why our members practice black-level movements on easy terrain first. Master each level step by step, and Harald awards your Green, Blue and Black belts.
Most boots are fitted for comfort, not performance. Everything we do is set up to optimize your balance for consistent ski turns and free up the small foot and supporting leg movements that give you speed control. Inside the Academy, our remote alignment protocol helps you select the right equipment for your body type and set it up from home, with help from your local shop if needed.
Right now, skiing can feel like hard work. Inside the Academy, we work hard on efficient movements with the correct equipment setup, so your legs don't have to work as hard. You work with gravity instead of fighting it, and let your skis do the work. You'll ski stronger and longer, with a smile that lasts all day.
Inside the Academy, Harald, his coaching team and our members all use one system: clear messaging, precise labels and specific movements, so everything is crystal clear between coach, student and community. Film a run, post it to the Academy or catch up with fellow members, and you'll speak the same language of consistent ski improvement. Over time, you'll learn to spot your own SMIM. Nothing is left to chance. Join in the Academy fun now so you can keep skiing at a high level for years to come.
“Even at this high level of skiing, there is a tremendous amount of improvement still available.” Harald Harb

1. Off-snow preparation. The Consistent Skiing Roadmap maps every primary and secondary movement through six phases of the turn. The 12-Week Ski Fit Challenge builds the body to do it: Restore & Activate, a 7-day program at Green, Blue or Black level, Two Smart Feet In-Boot Ski Training and Dynamic Feet.
2. Equipment alignment. Our remote alignment protocol shows you where your alignment is and how to work toward optimal, so your boots, bindings and skis work with you.
3. On-snow training. Green, Blue and Black exercise programs, video feedback, and belts to mark your progress.
Beginners, intermediates, advanced and expert skiers, racers, instructors and coaches who are ready to rebuild their skiing from the ground up. The program adapts to your level and pace.

“What Harald saw straight away was I had a major ski boot alignment problem that was preventing me from progressing. Having done that, my skiing has improved no end.”
“For the last 30 years or more, nearly 40 years, I've been stuck as an intermediate skier… not really getting any better, practicing my mistakes.”
“I've tried to put up my video for review only to really hear no feedback. Within less than two days I had members liking my posts… and Harald's personal review.”
“With the books, you cannot ask them questions. The sessions around two times a week allow you to ask questions directly and get clarifications from Harald.”
“My age is 78. 59 years of skiing by skidding and slamming on my edges and all the resulting wear and tear on my body. I'm looking forward to this new ski season.”
“I couldn't get the books to teach me how to do the Phantom Move, which is the start of everything. Yet, within a couple days of starting the Academy, I was able to execute the Phantom Move.”
“So far, I've only been out six times, but already my skiing is more fun and I'm doing it with less effort.”
“You can get direct feedback from Harald, including suggestions for the most important improvement you can make. People take those suggestions back to the hill and get great results.”
“It's almost a year later. I'm still on the Academy and I really like it.”
For 25 years, Harald coached junior racers season after season, leaving nothing to chance: their fitness, their equipment, footbeds, binding delta, boot canting, and every movement from the feet up. When he joined the PSIA Demo Team, he began working with elite instructors and everyday skiers, and found big gaps that traditional teaching skips over. So he built PMTS from the ground up, a completely re-engineered way to improve your skiing, teaching the critical foot-tipping movements of parallel skiing from day one, the same movements top racers rely on for speed control. For more than 25 years since, he's coached everyday skiers through his camps. At 75, he launched Harb Ski Academy to bring that same approach to skiers everywhere.
Peter Stone is the co-founder and host of Harb Ski Academy. Having met Harald in 1997 and been given a second chance, he loves paying it forward and helping members elevate their skiing.
