FYI - I have created a Tele-B page in the TELEWIKI, taken from Telehiro’s info on his YouTube and webpage.

I got some points while skiing this day from a highly skilled Tele skier. Overall much better than the last time, a few years ago, that I skied with him. The Rossi Alpineers skied much better than the last time with SB98’s.


Nice "B" tele. Did you teach yourself that intentionally, or was it a byproduct of skiing with one pole?

About a week ago I had a pole malfunction and had to ski out with only one pole. When thinking about how I would ski the remaining hill I decided B tele was the way to do it. It worked great and made me wonder if Telehiro came up with the technique because he does so much filming and skiing with one pole.
I think I have overcomplicated this style of skiing in my head. I blame 17 thousand threads

I’ve been watching Telehiro videos but I hadn't really practiced the B Tele in the past because I’m normally on lower angle (green run) type hiking trails and don’t need to do that to slow down. But once we moved over to the blue runs it was an “oh shit” moment and I just started doing it. And it worked! It was easier to only have to think about 2 movements. I’ve tried the one pole in the past then went to a chest and backpack mount, it was to hard to maintain balance on uneven terrain. But it turned out to be easier on the groomers. @Lhartley I had a GoPro bar mount and it workes on my ski pole. Next time I’ll need to extend it to its full 150cm length to get more in the frame. In the past I’ve used a GoPro 11 Mini, but I’ve had so much trouble with it locking up, I bought a used DJI Action 3. So far it’s worked fine.
Thank you much appreciated! The skiing too
