Telemark skiing is dead.

Should the duckbill pull right out of 75mm bindings? I generally release the heel and then have to do a bunch of kicking to get out...

Tele noob if you can't tell

it’s ok if it’s tight - it will loosen up

The manual calls for silicone which I didn't have. I had Squirt wax based bike chain lube on hand and it worked wonderfully.

Once upon a time. Tele had no heel throw. And three pins up front.

Once they created the heel throw they quickly ditched the three pins at which point exit should be easy.

Try some PAM

I really enjoyed this video. It's about much more than telemark but does capture the vibe. Does anyone know the gentleman featured in the video?

I’m riding blue hammerheads though.

I frickin’ went ass over teakettle on elip on our last run today and as I was flying through the air I was anxious about landing on a rock and that’s what happened. Today was pretty good but I’ll probably have to forego tomorrow.

I met a dude in the lodge name of Jamie on Thursday night. He had a powder suit themed just like that so I had to talk to him. I think he has an indie pass. He said he had a unicorn horn to go with his fartbag. I think he was heading for Hurricane ridge next. Nice guy.
