Re: Light gear does a good telemarker make?

...I only have so much time on my hands at the resort and would rather not mess with gear if it's to my detriment. I feel like some gear consistency is key when learning but there's a lot of chatter about lighter stuff "helping" technique... I understand there's differing philosophy, just looking a...

Re: Light gear does a good telemarker make?

All those skiers on NNN-BC with red flexors at the resorts in Japan can't be wrong. Does it make you a better skier? Does it make you ski better? Does it make skiing better for you? I’ll just touch on the last question. I feel like I’ve always tried with my lighter NNNBC stuff— and there is the gra...

Re: Anyone really psyched about their Hok style skishoes?

Thanks for sharing. Please do talk about the hardwires. I hope I haven’t led people astray. I continue to enjoy them on a few pairs of skis, but I’m curious about others’ experiences. If you’re ever in the Outaouais I’ve got Koms for you to try! The comparison to your experience with skin skis would...

Re: Anyone really psyched about their Hok style skishoes?

…But wait, Altai skis just came out with the TAO, 165, fairly large and that reputation of being the best at climbing, so I was not able to resist, I received them last week, and was only able to try them for 30 minutes. Initial impressions are: amazing build quality, very light, grip was equal (wi...

Re: Can't control speed! Snowplough doesn't plough...

... I'm on 200cm ... In theory these skis are too short... I have observed other (smaller) skiers on ...more xcd style gear, creep down the trails, but I seem to keep building speed and eventual panicked turns into the trees or falling over seem to be my only end results All other things being equa...

Re: Scarpa T4 - Looking for a taller liner to replace the old one

Original thread https://www.telemarktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6552&p=68824#p68824 Lamar, Morrow and other brands used these (by observation and ai search, pretty sure these liners were actually made by Intuition). Look for the wrap style with the exposed stitching along the edges. IMB_6NDfko.gif

Re: Lundhags Boot Care

IMG_1618.jpg I worked for years at a big outdoor shop and this is some of the story that I gathered from the stores’ buyers and product reps: Leather The hide is taken from the animal and the hair/fur is removed and the skin is tanned to prevent it from rotting. It is dyed if a different colour is ...
