Re: What was your biggest help in learning telemark?

It was the videos. Watching them and trying to copy the moves: that was the firs step.

The knee was traveling through powder due to the steep slope and I was sure that I would have hit the rock spine dividing the two faces with my knee if...

Re: Pads?

I hit once the ice boulder on an steep icy slope. I turn below an ice bulder and very close to it. Somehow I hit the bulder with my knee. Result was one week no running, no skiing; only pool apnea training.

Re: Pads?

LJ, skiing powder one can find many hidden things under a smooth white blanket. Exactly! One particular area that I use to ski has a perfect powder blanket and tip up pyramid shape rocks that protruded up to a 3-4 cm under the snow surface.

Re: Fat skis? Overrated... sometimes
