Dolphin turns. My understanding is they are initiated as a sort of "hop turn" with the tails pulled back with the feet. Ski tips are left on the snow. Good for bump practice? Correct me if I am wrong as I may be.
@skilikeagolfcart Thank you, for your comments; we appreciate and notice your support. We will continue to do our best to serve skiers world wide with correct information.
@Cuzntime The turns on the steep I make at the beginning are what I use in chutes. It's not a hockey stop. If you use hockey stops, you will lose control and slide too far. Use leg flexing, bending and tipping of the lower body to keep the skis working for you, and in snow contact.
@skiwhh Thats what happended I was sliding to far and the slope wasnt wide enough for that. I will practice again this weekend.. My calves are still sore from practicing all day yesterday :) Thanks again!!
This is only a preview, I'm going to provide skiing performance, movement cues, for all turns in the video that I use in every skiing situation. You will hear about how I stay focused and energetic.
I show you what and tell you how I think when I do short turns, bullet proof turns and all terrain turns.
Superb skiing Harald. All built upon your superb teaching system, PMTS.
Your continual development of ski instruction camps, books, DVD's and online material provides us with the most advanced ski instruction available in the world.
For those of us lucky enough to have been taught by you and your PMTS instructors, we owe you all an enormous thank you. We are extremely fortunate to be realising rapid improvement in a sport that is clearly one of the most difficult to master.
Yes you are right, I have a whole section and many runs showing dolphin turns in my "Performance Free Skiing", DVD.

When skiing narrow slopes that are steep, is it bascially like sharp hockey stops in to minimize speed?

To ski this technique you have to tip your skis early, while they are still light, after you have flexed and pulled your feet up under your body.

The absolute best in the business... and here's video proof. It's even more exciting to see him ski live.... Keep 'em coming Harald.

Smooth ... like water flowing down hill.
Thanks for not holding out on providing great information. There are plenty of people offering far less for much more IMO.

I've long wanted a free-skiing dvd of Harald's skiing. Can't wait until it's available. This will be a dvd I'll try to wear out!
