I wound up with a pair of those Rossi Chamois skis in a trade years ago. I’ve started using them with a low T1 Terminator, and I can downhill them a little without hurting myself. Nice to switch things up, not ski the same gear every time.

Wow, what an excellent timepiece of American Telemark skiing history this is! I was one of the early 1980s Telemark skiers too. To put it into perspective, none of us really knew what we were doing. We looked at a couple of old photos and read books about the telemark turn, but there were very few instructors for telemark skiing in the 1980s. It was all new and a few people were just trying to do what they had seen or heard. The boots were ankle cut leather lace-ups. The bindings were three-pin. The skis were more skinny than they needed to be and with a stiff arched camber for waxing and touring. In short, the equipment was exceedingly challenging and the techniques were mostly self-taught. Compared with the Telemark equipment of the 1980's, today's Telemark equipment very nearly skis all by itself.

The narrator couldn’t be more right about corn snow. The right consistency really is magic. Especially on tele gear. Not sure why.

I just “jabbedy jab” can’t balance “jabbedy jab” well with my “jabbedy jab” floppy boots “jabbedy jab” and skinny skis!! I always feel like I’m cheating when I compare my modern stuff to what I learned on way back then!

First, it was “cables” made of birch roots around the heel. Then simple three-pins, then three-pins with steel cables, then 75mm norm with the introduction of springs, and now NTN. I do love the history, and I’ll be rocking my older 75mm set-up until they fall apart, but that said… Can’t beat NTN. Offers the most versatility and freedom.

Wow! Where in the world did you find this video? Very cool. Very nostalgic. I was there: telemark skiing in the 1980s. Long stiff skinny skis with no side-cut. Three-pin bindings. Leather ankle high boots with laces. To be honest, even a beginner can telemark ski within an hour of practice on today's equipment. With the old gear, you really had to have your balance honed perfectly as well as timing and ability to read the topography of your lines and adjust for different conditions as you skied AND you need super strong legs/knees.
