Got some old Voile 3Pin cable binders and a pair of Burnt Mtn Designs Telebulldog binders that I’m no longer using that I’d ship out + beer money to any free healers wanting to rekindle their tele flames (or keep them going) out there. PM me for details.

Yeah man, I pretty much had spring season passes most of those years. '11 was a kickass year and I think my brother and I must of had around 75 days @ Snowbird that year. Huge snow year w/ basically everything open till the end, which was July 4th. The AF Twins bootpack was golden all the way till July 3rd(clouds rolled in on the 4th w a drizzly rain). Lap up twins, down to LC, up to baldy hike roundabout FTMFW! God, I love that fukin place!
I was the burlyish dude w/ Goat at the time that would have made MPPG proud, if not envious. My brother is 6'6" so he's pretty noticeable too. An old friend is a long time SB tele dude, up there every day. We ski around up there w/ him most days. Dude named Vince P. You know him? He's a ripperSpent a lot of time on these there during those days

Telemark skiing is dead.
This week I skied my first 10” pow day on 65mm underfoot 169cm skis and Voile 3-pins with no cables (my “skimo” setup). Harder than I thought but doable. And I didn’t rip out a binding, +1.

I believe the children are our future.
Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Grant's got the idea. I taught an 11 y/o a couple of weeks ago in honor of World Telemark Day, using some of my daughter's old 75mm gear. This was the son of a woman I patrol with who expressed interest in trying it out so I made it happen.
Actually I just got out of the way - it took all of two runs for him to do proficient tele turns, then he spent the rest of the day skiing with his friends. He's got my gear on perma-loan until he grows out of it.
He has already decided, based on independent research, that he and his dad should get Meidjos. Neither his dad nor his dad's wallet have been informed so we'll see how that goes.
But tele is not dead if this kid has a say.

I wonder if one of the reasons Telemark skiing is now dead is due to equipment availability and shipping delays in the era of Covid?
Equipment coming from Asia is super behind schedule. I can’t imagine the delays on gear shipping from Pangaea.

Plastic boots is not tele skiing ya wankers! Tele most certainly died with the T1.
And all the chest pumping...yeah, Micah Black was better than you his first day on tele skis, so y'all can just fight for the consolation prize.
Although, many years ago The Rog did tell me he used to see Buttah up at Loon (?) and he was the rippin' tele skier at that hill...so he's got that going for him.

What about those pole straps bro?
I definitely waisted the energy of my youth being a telemarker. I 'membah, my first time hiking into Tux. Hiked from pinkham up to Tux wearing my Asolo Extreme's and shouldering my Rossi TRS's. Didn't even have decent backpack. Used my college book pack. Made 7 runs all over the place, even off the summit. Oh to be early 20's again, but then I would probably be doing something equally stupid like skiing backwards with no poles, or park or something.
