What is Telemark?

Telemark skiing is a term used for skiing using the Telemark turn, which is a technique invented by Norwegian Sondre Norheim. It is also known as "free heel skiing."
Unlike alpine skiing equipment, the skis used for telemarking have a binding that only connects the boot to the ski at the toes, just as in cross-country skiing. Telemark turns are led with the heel flat on the outside ski (the downhill ski at the end of the turn), while the inside (uphill) ski is pulled beneath the skier's body with a flexed knee and raised heel. The skis are staggered but not quite parallel, and 50% to 60% of the body weight is distributed on the outside ski, depending on snow conditions.

Why Telemark?

• It is an alternative opporturnity for fun in the snow!
• The technic is easy to learn because of the walk movement
• The technic is very healthy
• There are less accidents because of the "free heels"
• No cold feet!
