Tele - mark skiing looks ninja. Wouldn't mind learning. Got an instructor who can do it backwards and any which way, taught himself years ago on wooden skis. Alpine and touring is all I can do for now. Wow.

Thank you so much! It helps me to "see" the tele-skiing and at the same time understand the details of the technique, so that I can form an image and understanding, and then copy that while on the slopes.

1. Ride like on alpine skis with pressure on your heels/slight backseat (plough turns to parallel. 2. Telemark stance while standing. 3. Telemark position while traversing - Downhill ski always in front, no lead change. 4. Lead change while standing. 5. Lead change while traversing. 6. Garlands into telemark stance - Series of stop-turns, more and more in fall line. 7. First tele turns. 8. Use of the rear inside leg. 9.

0.32 Look how much weight he has on his inside ski . Much of the spray of snow is coming not from his lead or down hill ski but the weighted back foot ski. This is important.

Yeah, what's the rest of the lesson on "use of the rear inside leg...."

@Doug762a 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, I wondered about that as well. And no one has answered this in the last 5 years!

@@Doug762a Weight the back foot. Don't put all your weight on the lead ski as you make the turn. It is unstable.

Hi, i have a doubt, can i use dynafit bindings to practice telemark? Thanks!

@Gustav-vu5tj 8 жыл бұрын

If you have a randonee boot, it has no bellows in the boot to allow the boot sole to bend or flex. If you had an NTN telemark boot which accepts the Dynafit binding (a pincer toe binding), I'm not sure that the boot would flex to allow movement needed in telemark. Can you rent telemark gear?

If you try tele with Dynafit, it would be similar (maybe) to doing it in a conventional touring binding, yes the heal is fee but there would be no resistance to stop you falling over the front of the ski. There is an NTN pin binding out there but I forget who makes it. Spend a couple of days trying some tele gear and see how you get on. I moved from alpine a couple of years ago to NTN and love it. It is much more rewarding both in the resort and touring (which you can do on the NTN)

If you have never learnt to ski alpine parallel then the Telemark skiing technique is not that hard to learn.

Looks really hard like your doing lunges the whole time.

@MisterTMH Жыл бұрын

The video over exaggerates how deep the lunge is. After you get the muscle memory to link these turns you can ease off the deep lunge because the weight transfer in the lead ski change is a key ingredient in the turn.
