Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

Help me identify these boots and bindings! For the life of me I can't remember the model of these boots and bindings. Alzheimer's, I guess. The boots are most definitely Scarpa double leather boots with two or three buckles. I wish to god that I had never sold those boots. Can't friggin' remember th...

Re: Telemark Technique

you might enjoy White Grass Two hours down the highway from me. Been there a bunch of times. Turning and burning, and some mellow stuff when my knee started deteriorating. All my whitewater kayaking friends are also tele skiers (go figure) and they're regulars at WG. One friend lives next door to W...

Re: Telemark Technique

Have you done much telemark on “light” equipment? No, or very minimally active bindings (bare 75mm, NNN BC, etc.), leather boots, longer and narrower skis? Did you see my profile picture? I did 95% of my backcountry skiing on 3-pin cables, skinny 205cm tele skis, and Asolo Extreme boots. That was m...

The three steps sound like good technique and a good sequence. Is the first same step same as the following exercise?
Certainly looks like it
At least the segment at 1:50-2:00
The rest of it, no so much

Re: Telemark Technique

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZGA2tLoSbU Damn good style! I've been watching the telehito videos that everyone seems to be lauding, and all I see is his rear ski skidding and drifting all over the place, and not much carving. Definitely I looked like that back in the beginning, but it's not my s...

Re: Telemark Technique

I'm also open to better ways! I am trying to follow the tele-B thread, and I'd like to hear your opinion on how the "early lead change" compares and contrasts to tele-B style. I don't quite fully understand tele-B but it sounds like a lot of discussions on how to overcome the problems of tele lead ...

Re: Very unhappy with NTN and looking for new (old-style) kit

I'm selling a pair of T1 boots and freeride alpine skis with Hammerheads. If you're still looking at old school.

Re: Telemark Technique

As for me, I’m basically two years into Telemark, so still on the steep part of the curve. When I tried to integrate this technique into my skiing, IT MADE MY BRAIN HURT! Everyone is different, and has a different learning style. In Dostie's video, I think he does a poor job of explaining what is h...

Re: Telemark Technique

I'd be interested. This last summer I had a medical event/condition/curse that would make it hard for me to usefully try it. Sadly! Sorry! I ran too many trail ultras back in the day, and recently had a knee replacement. The surgery didn't end well, and I am toast now. So I feel for ya. So I'll tel...
