Already Tele'd

Nice essay...
That's right, you've heard it all before; telemarkers are a dying breed. I'm not here to dispute it, defend it or suggest why AT gear is better or worse. I'm here to rant about what is killing the freeheel. And I say it's greed. It's skier's greed for power. And it's gear manufacturers' greed to steer the ship, feed the lie that you need more power and sell you stuff you don't need.
