Re: Ski Movies

Found this 1984 Rochester, New York NPR segment on telemark skiing:



Gives a lot of insight into what the approach to technique and equipment was in NY state during that time.

Starting at 1 minute 12 seconds.

Would love to find out where/when it was filmed and who the skiers are.
