i've always thought of freeheeling as being more orientated toward moguls and pow. but hey, if they wanna ride park too that's fine by me.

tele skiing is hard, it killed my legs after just a few hours when i tried it.

I've seen plenty of decent tele skiers who do park. I'd love to see a nose press..!

My tele friends just say they put in the stiffest cartridges they can get when they are skiing park and basically just make alpine turns. 

Not to down play tele park, but I just thought that was funny.

and yeah, the telemarking works your legs like mad.

Now don't laugh at my question since I don't know anything about teleskiing really, but how do his skis stay so close/attached to his heel when he is in the air, since the ski is only attached to the toe.

And what are the advantages of teleskiing?

they got a little spring thing that keeps the ski relatively close to the foot while in the air.

i think.

i tele and its fuckin dope. this is a much better vid to show of teleing in the park.

you can get different cartridges on your bindings to determine the stiffness of the binding. rid (ridiculously) stiff binding cartridges are the way to go if you want to free-heal freestyle.

umm, i think theyre pretty equivalent to real bindings, you need new boots to, and when/if you try it make sure you bend the correct leg, nothin worse than someone on teles that does it wrong.

aight then i agree with you about it being about the same on groomers. but when your really skiing, dropping lines, riding in the park, etc. then teleing is harder

IMO, gear.  They would need new boots and  bindings if they needed to have a real alpine setup.

This way they can use the skis and bindings they use for all mountain in park specific days

its really just preference. for example for riding in the park you want it stiffer so it doesn't just hang. also if you wanted to hike uphill you would want them lose so there is no tension. you can still make tele turns no matter the stiffness, in pow and steep terrain depending on the stiffness makes the difference on how you ski it.
