In  the 15 years I’ve have been teaching telemark skiing, I’ve always though we could do better. I Love telemark festivals for the buzz they create around our sport. But I always felt like we couldn’t serve the community on a regular basis. What if life could be a every day festival ?

 

In my last post, I revealed my new Project:
The Telemark Foundation

In my quest to make a better difference in the telemark community, I’m launching a project where you can REALLY improve your telemark skills.

And in the little survey about what you want to accomplish, you said that your biggest fears or problems were:

  • The main challenges for learning telemark is learning to balance yourself on a good centered position while always being in movement. No fear at all, just gliding down a mountain on a pair of telemark skis is something worth more than a million $$$$.
  • My main problem with learning tele, other than lack of opportunity to ski, is weighting my back foot properly. Biggest fear is that I will fall wrong and wreck my knee.

And maybe the most revealing

  • Very limited opportunities to ski with other skilled skiers and to continue improving skills and knowledge to continue improving. Biggest fear is to lose the motivation

More precisely, I was ask to solve these different problems:

  • getting enough weight onto the inside ski. This issue always resurfaces when I start to get tired,
  • failure and not being as good as in alpine skiing
  • being able to do fast sharp powerful turns and mastering the stance and keeping it on steep icy run and glades
  • not falling and getting a knee injury
  • not having a good first experience.
  • on steep terrain, on my weak side, I have issues committing to the lead change.
  • how to land after jumps

 

  • and even...icy bumps in the steeps

What a challenge…

So here I though that in front of a big problem, WE need a great solution.

As I said, I’m going all out in giving YOU all the secrets that have always guided my teaching, the 7 flaws of telemark.

In these seven flaws, I will cover all the flaws one telemark skiers can have from beginner to expert. In fact, every flaw is affecting your technique in one way depending on your skills, the terrain and the snow condition.

 

The project is going a personalize program:

  1. Hi Rene. A while ago I purchased your fakie tutorial and I liked it. I am considering the TF but I am located in the south hemisphere, Chile, to be precise, where we are in the middle of summer. I am an avid telemarker (really not to many down here) and I have attended the Portillo Big Montain Telemark Camp hosted by Kayo Ogilby and Nick Devore. The question is, does it make sense to join now? Thanks. Leslie.

    • Hello Leslie,

      Humm, great question.

      It could be worth it but you would not be able to do everything right now. Like the video anaysis (unless you have one from last season)
      I would not mind delaying some of your one on one meeting for your winter. But then, I will not be able to make a specific tutorial just for you.
      I will not reopen the Foudation untill next November so if you want in, I guess it’s your chance.

      Thanks for your time and enjoy the summer for now

      Rene

  2. Hi Rene. I would also like to do the TF but realistically probably won’t have anywhere to ski/video for the final 2-3 weeks of it. Probably only a few more weeks of skiing where I am located. What do you think? Worthwhile now or might it be better to wait?

    Thanks! Colby

    • This is an intensive program where you need to be skiing regurlarly. If you are able to ski a lot from February 28th to March 21st then, it could be worth it.
