Day 48 - World Telemark Day

Today is World Telemark Day! I'm sure you all knew that, and were out dropping a knee and free heeling' all over the place. I was.

I mention Telemark skiing from time to time, so here's a photo to show how it works and what makes it different. The boots are not fixed down at the heel, and you turn in this position, this would be a left turn, leading with the right foot. It's the original method of skiing, modern downhill skiing evolved from this. It's more demanding, but very rewarding when you get it right. If you are looking for a new skiing challenge, try a Telemark lesson. You might like it, free your heels and your mind will follow.....

Every day skiing is a good day.
