does anyone on here rides telemark? i tried it last weekend and it totally blew my mind. i am gonna switch to telemark for riding groomers and powder. maybe in the park i am going to stay a skier, but this whole telemark shvt is just awesome.

There was also a telecross on my mountain, where alot of americans came over for. So i guess telemarkings is bigger over there than in europe.

Ever see a telemarker ride switch?

One of the coolest things ever. I can't even understand how they'd do that!

I tried it for a few days a few weeks ago and its cool. So much fun on groomers and shit. I tried a few straight airs over a 20ft kicker and ate shit. Great fun.
Ill def do it more next season

idk, i kinda actually find switch tele turns easier than doing switch alpine turns once you get used to it, but for tele-skiers you should be able to make switch turns both ways cuz you can't carve into a switch takeoff in a tele turn, and for little adjustments in the park you don't want to take the time to drop a knee
