Telemark Skiing 101
When I wanted to learn about telemark skiing, I was referred by more than person to Peter Kavouksorian, one of the acknowledged Deans of Eastern freeheel skiing. Through his business Peter, and his wife JoAnn, were on the leading edge as ski manufacturers began to experiment with combining the freeheel versatility of cross country skiing with the power and control of alpine skis.

Telemark Skiing
Telemark skiing, also known as freeheel skiing, is skiing with a binding that only connects the boot to the ski at the toes, as in cross-country skiing. It is similar to cross-country skiing, but enables the skiier to handle steep terrain.
