Another great article from Jack

I haven't ever felt the need to be completely faithful to the telemark turn, specifically because I have a bucket list of objectives in Alberta here that I know damn well I couldnt tele in any clean or safe manner if I dedicated two decades to the turn, it's just not in the cards. I'll do them on alpine gear, I'll ski them tele if I can, hell if I was with a splitboard crew I'd snowboard too. I haven't touched alpine gear in 3 full years now, but only because tele feels damn good and it's fun to learn....hard on the ego as it is being terrible at it at the start. Anyways, interesting article, thought I'd throw it up to fill the spring void
