Telemarking

Telemark skiing is a variation on the more popular downhill or alpine skiing. The main variation that telemark skiing has from traditional alpine skiing is that the telemark skiers boots are only bound to the ski at the toe, similar to cross country skis. The other thing that separates telemark skiers from their alpine brothers is the way in which they turn.

Telemark skiers perform turns by controlling the turn with the outside leg and tucking the inside leg up and under. The big sweeping turns that result are often more enjoyable to execute and perform. Some brands of telemark skis make a ski with a curve on the outside ski to help in controlling the turn. Telemark skiing was hugely popular in the forties and has recently seen a big revival although telemark skiing is still a fringe sport when compared to Alpiine skiing.
