Re: Style

I watched the Tele Tay? Video. When you really looked at his skiing, it’s classic “A” Tele. Sure he likes to skid his rear foot some, and pop little airs off the terrain. That just having fun, and yes style, but nuts and bolts just a solid, traditional Telemark skier.

Re: Questions for telemark athletes

Allen, you will have to show me the finer points of B-Tele sometime. I utilize rotation, not in the B-Tele manner.
Hope you’re getting enough snow, here in Michigan I wish the wind would let up enough to get my kayak onto the big lakes.

Re: Tele Technique Question: what do I do with my toes!

Even my F1-Race is pretty stiff. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure I had the BOF firmly on the ski. I can tell you I was definitely edging the trailing ski at speed, and that the Vermont blacks are pretty steep. What I was really concentrating on, was driving the knee of the trailing ski into the ...

Re: Tele Technique Question: what do I do with my toes!

On my trailing foot my toes are curled in as my pinky toe is driving the edge of the ski into the snow! Only said slightly in jest, as my toes are edging. Riding lifts, skiing the groomed in firm conditions a couple weeks ago in Vermont, I burned up my thighs and my calves skiing too to bottom and r...

Re: Atomic RT86: Persevere or Explore a New Setup?

If you like a softer ski better with AT bindings, I definitely believe you need to get on a softer ski for Telemark. I can’t ski Telemark on my now ancient mid fat alpine skis, and I ripped some really challenging terrain on them with fixed heels. Telemark skiing is more two footed, your ski needs t...
