tele is for people that are too lazy to get their broken skis fixed.

We might have a hippie infestation. I will check the walls and attic of NS to make sure there isn't a problem.

This reminds me there is a great thread on the TGR forum about telemarking right now.

http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80385&page=3

Look for the video about three-fourths of the way down on page 3, mandatory viewing for you freeheelers, just extremely funny for the rest of us.

I don't know about that. I've ripped my bindings out of skis 3 times in a season. Tele bindings might be decent in terms of strength, but the attachment point to the ski is really weak since you can exert so much force on a couple screws.

tele's are for ppl who were pussies on skis.

example: my friend would use this excuse (he used to ski)
"I can't hit that i'm on tele's"

enough said

All you tele wankers should have a drum circle and pass the peace pipe to kick the season off. Oh and don't forget to buy a camelback to fill with some wine from a box.

yeah, i was riding the bombers all that season. The problem isn't the binding, it's how it attaches to the ski.

check one for me. 

been doing it since i was six.   sure there are disadvantages, but there are several positive points too.

but with that said.  after 7 years of never touching alpine gear, i did buy a set up this year.  i kind of got sick of landing 5s to my face.  but don't worry, i'm only using them as training heels to learn a couple new things.  i could never make it a permanent transition....  especially never for big mountain.
