Here is another common misunderstanding of A-tele skiers. After watching TH's fast movements, some may think that he is doing like the following: Shuffle with Skis_64-188.gif The following analogy is a bit different because the boots have contact on a single disk, which allows them to be rotated at ...

I agree the above video is not b tele. It looks like it but the weighting of the skis is “a” tele for sure. Also, in Rods video, i thought that move could have been either a or b, depending on how you pressure your skis. This confirms my belief that the difference between the two is how you pressur...

Early Test Report?

This is an example that looks like B-tele but is different.

Equally weighting your skis is just a starting point. If you don’t have the skill to equally weight them, how are you going to have the skill to fine tune how you vary the pressure on them. Skis don’t need to be equally weighted, but they do need enough weight on them to make them work. It all goes...

After understanding the nuances of braking on both consolidated and powder snow along with the concept of CM , in addition watching instructional videos below and simulating the motions on the ground, most skiers will be able to prepare themselves for B-tele skiing. Once they have mastered the techn...

No, I appreciate the discussion for sure, just saying I appreciate when it get can narrowed down for someone less experienced (in telemark) like myself. I can't help but think that the topic of all the discussions himself is responding to all the recent dialog, so of course it helps As mentioned by...

To be more exact, pushing and pulling, expanding and contracting, increase and decrease force, not weight. However, we often say ”weight”, when you should say ”force” in an elementary school physics lesson. Contracting your knees does not decrease your body weight. I wish losing weight would really...

When skiing on powder snow in areas that have a mix of sunny and shady spots, I used to have trouble with snow getting stuck on the scales of my skis. To prevent this, I now always apply hot wax to both the gliding and scaled parts of my skis.
