This is the World Famous TelemarkTalk / TelemarkTips / Telemark Francais Forum, by far the most dynamic telemark and backcountry skiing discussion board on the world wide web since 1998. East, West, North, South, Canada, US or Europe, Backcountry or not. http://eddie.dnsprive.com/~telemark/
My Annums found their new home! This is a great place to earn your turns - deep pow-wow style - in eastern Québec!
Y'all are Welcome!
First line down
"Skin track", not too steep, so perfect for scales or a nicely waxed XCD ski!

Wow - that's really nice looking Ben.
Is that you in that video? Nice skiing. Pretty fast too up top - kinda faster than I care to go through trees... don't hit one!

Yeah that's me Mikek. Thought I might as well use it to ask for some teletips on the "Serious XCD question about turns" topic!
Sounds like we got up to a meter of white dump with this final winter storm here. I'm out to check it out!

I'm pretty sure your video will be ending up critiqued on another forum in a very short manner... I thought you skied well enough for the conditions - I would have felt good about it, and it looks like you were actually telemarking, and not making parallel turns... so you confirmed my questions - I would have done the same in that snow.
And bottom line is who the fuck cares how you skied it. Did you have fun? Thought so

Is it the Vallée Taconique or something else on mont St-Pierre?
Nice trio, you should always carry your camera

It's another: la montagne St-pierre in La Rédemption. Check it out in Google maps. Less than an hour from Rimouski

I wonder how any critique would become personal as even though I have been nordic backcountry skiing for years now, I have been working on my telemarking skills for less than 10 ski days.

Don't worry about what I said... the internet is full of wankers, but you don't need me to remind you of that.
So did your gf go?
