Harb Ski Camps - Why a Harb camp?

Integrated Instruction, Alignment, and Equipment Optimization
Harb Ski Systems takes equipment optimization very seriously, and that emphasis brings skiers to the next level very quickly. Every skier attending a Harb Ski Systems Camp is evaluated for alignment on snow as well as indoors. Coaches are trained in all aspects of skier biomechanics and equipment optimization. Alignment and movement progress is captured with daily video sessions for each group.

Harb Ski Systems camps offer an integrated ski improvement program not available elsewhere. Our Green/Blue, Blue/Dark Blue, and Super Blue Camps offer, in addition to coaching, a combination of services that include everything a skier could hope for in technical and teaching innovation. We perform a complete biomechanical indoor evaluation of the foot, ankle and lower limb for footbeds and alignment. The alignment evaluation is performed by your coach, or by a technician and your coach in tandem. Your ski coach will have a complete understanding of your biomechanical capabilities. No other program in skiing offers this level of expertise and professionalism. We modify boots and equipment, if needed, for better performance. Harb Ski Systems pioneered this radically different approach in '98-'99, we've been growing it since then, and skiers will not find this level of service elsewhere in the ski industry.

PMTS Direct Parallel® Instruction
In Harb Ski Systems camps, skiers learn the PMTS Direct Parallel Method. This completely differentiates Harb camps from all other ski instruction opportunities. PMTS Direct Parallel teaches expert movements to skiers at every stage of development. It reverses the frustration caused by the wedge and wedge-christie movements taught in traditional instruction that impede your development.

With PMTS Direct Parallel you learn simple, easily understood concepts that guide your skiing development every time you are on the snow. These Primary Movements will become natural as you practice them and apply them to every skiing situation. However far you want to go with your skiing, with Harb Ski Systems you’ll learn the technique that will take you there.

Equipment Demos and Sales
At all our Colorado camps, we offer sales of equipment (skis, boots, bindings, etc.) through our Skier Alignment Center. Please let us know ahead of time if you are planning to get new equipment while you are at camp. This "one-stop-shopping" lets you get everything you need to ski better — equipment, footbeds, alignment, and instruction — in an integrated and convenient situation.

If you'd like to try different skis while at camp, you can demo them from us for $40/day (refunded if you purchase skis). Please note this on your enrollment form.

Boots are the most important component of your equipment/alignment solution. By selecting your boots at a Harb Ski Systems camp, you can fine-tune the fit and alignment and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction. With Harb Ski Systems, you'll be skiing with a coach or technician who fit your boots, so you can be assured of complete satisfaction in their fit and function.

If you are thinking about getting new equipment somewhere else before you come to camp, please get in touch with us before you do. We don't want you to make an equipment mistake that will adversely affect your skiing performance!

Highly-Trained Coaches
The greatest asset of a Harb Ski Systems camp is your coach. Harb Ski Systems coaches are highly trained professionals who know exactly what to do to help skiers achieve rapid progress. All Harb Ski Systems coaches go through a multi-year period of PMTS accreditation and training before coaching at our camps regardless of their prior experience. In addition to their natural ability and strengths as coaches, Harb Ski Systems coaches are all trained in alignment evaluation and equipment optimization. A Harb Ski Systems coach is constantly evaluating your skiing as it relates to all aspects of the skiing experience. Take your skiing to the next level in just a few days with a staff that averages over twenty years of experience and has a wealth of experience to bring to your every turn.
