Welcome to the PMTS Online Ski Lesson!

"You're going to put ski instructors out of business.

PMTS Direct Parallel® - the Alternative Ski Teaching System

PMTS Direct Parallel® is unique - it is the only complete, alternative ski teaching system today. Beginning skiers through experts accelerate their improvement by learning and practicing basic movements that lead to expert, parallel skiing, rather than learning obscure skills and discardable maneuvers. All movements taught in PMTS Direct Parallel® help the skier to achieve and maintain balance.

PMTS Direct Parallel® is not a modification of a previous, traditional ski teaching system - it's a completely new system designed for shaped skis. When taking a ski school lesson, you must ask for a PMTS Direct Parallel® lesson or you'll receive some version of the snowplow progression.

Safety Precautions:

Please observe the following precautions before and when you try your lesson on snow.

1. Harb Ski Systems recommends that you have your boots and bindings inspected and tested once a year by a reputable shop, to ensure that they function correctly.

2. At all times, follow the Skier Safety Code. This is often printed on trail maps, and at many resorts is printed on the cafeteria napkins. If you aren't familiar with the Skier Safety Code, please e-mail us.

3. Try your lesson on easy terrain that's very comfortable; probably easier than where you normally ski. Start at a low speed.

4. If you're having difficulty with the lesson, be careful! Reread it, try again on easier terrain, and if you still have trouble, e-mail us.


You’ll be asked several questions which describe your current skiing and desire for change. Answering each question will guide you to a lesson that fits your needs. Try the lesson the next time you go skiing.

Each question has several answers, and each answer will take you to a new page. Please read all the options carefully, then select the one which is most descriptive of your current skiing.

If your skiing or your desires are not adequately described by the lesson, or you can’t decide how to answer one of the questions, e-mail us and we’ll help.

I have read the instructions and safety precautions. I'm ready to
