Although Black Diamond confirms the end of the production of Telemark Boots as reported by Craig Dostie on his blog, Doug opens the doors to new possibilities
Let’s hear about the great story of those two passionate mountain enthusiast in the latest of the Absolute Telemark Tips Podcast.
Nice 30 minutes in finally coming clean…it was eluded to in the first 30 seconds. Telemark is ultimately going to be a style choice. It isn’t the most efficient choice anymore.
Isn’t all snow sliding ultimately about style anyway? I think recreational skiing to most people has more in common with dancing than say… running
YEP, you have to admit that there were a ton of Telemark skiers that were ‘into’ it because they felt it was the way to be seen as a back country skier. I love telemak skiing, it’s just a fun way to make a turn. It takes a ton of strength to have a really solid turn.
Really liking these podcasts. It’s really great to have people sharing their passion for Telemark Skiing. I really like questions you ask Rene-Martin. Your interview style is really relaxed and you really let the guests do the talking. Great stuff. Keep it up!
