I was a way better tele skier than anyone on here back in the 90’s, just sayin is all. None of that paramarking bullshit, fully loading up the back ski and straight up ripping shit. No lie, I was better than you, it’s true. Then the day came when we got K2 Four demos at the shop I was at in Waterville Valley. One of the boys came down and said I needed to try them, grabbed some rental boots and locked down, two runs later, I came down and got fitted for new Nordica’s, haven’t made a tele turn since that day.

Telemark skiing is dead.
Is that a tele thing, taking baths?
I take showers like real skiers.

Man, you willingly admit that the K2 Four is the ski that changed your world? lol

I always thought it interesting and funny that “the ski that changed the [tele] world” was the K2 piste stinx, which was the K2 Two.

You know nothing, Danny. It was the first shaped ski for many folks on this forum. It was a total game-changer. Plus it had a fucking piezo chip.
So fucking stoopid, you are.crab in my shoe mouth

we would buy lightly or never used CMH Heli skis for 107$ from CMH in Banff,
they all had 977 demo bindings mounted and the shorter lengths were often never used
so for 100 $ + tax you got a pair of rossi's that skied were much like the Tua cirque
but at 1/4 of the price so they were perfect for the cheap telewankerLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

The K2 Totally Piste was the K2 Four with a different top sheet.

I think those ^^ are the new (er) fangled model of CMH Heli-ski
I heard these ^^ were an old rossi 3G profile from the 80's, i had spent time on a borrowed set of Tua cirques and I thot these skied very similar, I used to drive me with alico double boots and then T-3's, the last GF took the purple T-3's so the only tele boot I got left is a T-1 which pretty much boss these around
100 + tax got a good cheap tele-ski and a demo binding, so a number of telewankers in town picked these up from CMH and traded away the 977 demo, it was real easy to get a set put on the busLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Since it’s Thursday, I found some older tele-ish photo prints. I do not have a lot of photos, unfortunately, they are in disarray, so I couldn’t find some of my favorites :grrr:

An old picture, but my form was decent, considering I was on Targas.
