Telemark skiing is dead.

[turnfarmer]

One of the best tips I received on tele was to drive the pole plant hand to the front knee after planting. This keeps your hands in front and body facing downhill.

Figured I'd share some of the better tele stoke I've seen recently.

Or just hold a tray with your tits to the bar without poles. They are a complete literal crutch.

Best tip I ever got was to fix the heel. Problem solved.

Spend a couple days without poles. You don't need to be jumping/unweighting at all to accomplish much of a solid turn. In fact, you don't need to at all.

Yeah no need to be hopping around like a freak but if you aren’t able to pop vertically your positioning is off.

You seem to have wandered into the wrong thread.

I don’t get the shin pressure idea on the last page.

Tele has no shin pressure. Sure. There’s knee bend and angulation
Flexing your ankle creates shin pressure. But nothing like alpine.

But the prior page on the flailing rear ski is all about rear ski pressure. Get that rear ski under your butt

Push the new front ski forward. While keeping the back ski under your ass.

And mono mark. It’s the way. Crazy cool using reverse edges.

A good exercise is trying to ski off of the back ski. Try that and you’ll understand why the rear ski is not a useless appendage

When people ask me why I voluntarily subject myself to telemark skiing my default response is “I need a reason to suck”.

That tends to elicit some funny feedback.

Tele is fun and so is alpine. We can tell that you don’t know what you’re talking about by your previous post. You can’t flex your ankles in a tele turn without driving into the boot cuff. If you’re not driving into the cuff of the boot then you can’t flex the sole of the boot. It’s easy to see this, people on their tippy toe trailing ski cause there’s no ankle flex.

I skied my first few runs the other day in walk mode by accident. Made a comment to my tele cohort “ man I think I need to tighten up the tension on these bindings a little bit “

He’s like - are you in walk mode?

“Umm errrr uhhh yeah dude thanks.”

Wait .... you're running bellow boots in fixed heel bindings?? Seems like instant release? Or are those not fixed heel bindings?

Some folks here clearly never hung out on ttips. And as such, need their funnty bone checked.

One of the patrollers here used to ski his TX Pros in Salomon STH all the time. No puck needed, the afd supported the BOF
