Hello. I have been tele skiing for about a year now and i want to step up my skill level a bit. Before i was a tele skier i was a high level park skier. i want to try and merge the two and start tele skiing in the park.

Does anyone know of any GOOD tele twin tips? also do regular twin tips work with tele's?

Thanks!

out of curiosity, is there anyone who skis park with leather boots and three pin bindings? All the edits I've seen have been with stiff plastic boots and ntn's or hardwire bindings, but doing it with softboots would be insane

I'm not sure if anyone really even telemarks with leather boots anymore.

I tried it once on some 200cm straight skis, it was terrifying.

Sounds like a bad time for any backseat landing.

I do. Frequently. It's great cause it's super lightweight and easy to walk up the hills in the spring for some fun turns or do some light touring/cross country.


I've even tried hitting to occasional park feature with them..

that was sick, and yeah leather boots are the only reason I tele, with ntn gear and stuff you might as well just get an AT setup but with a light 3pin setup uphill and downhill are fairly easy (once you actually get good at turning)with no transition time which is especially good for all the small hills around where I live.
