Default Telemarking on Non Fluffy Snow

Mike, don't you think that's a little bit too much theory?


Well, it was pretty heavy, but better have the theory behind you as
something you can refer to.

For me, the best thing to learn telemarking (and skiing generally) in
bad or difficult snow conditions is: Do it!


Up to a point. When I got my first proper lessons I made more
progress in one week than in the previous 5 full seasons (and that
was back when "season" meant more than odd days here in Scotland).

Practice works better when you've some theory to work from, and
troubleshooting your own faults pretty much requires solid thory
behind it if you're going to do a good job.

Trust you're feelings and make the skis go! :-) :-)


I trusted my feelings, and planted my head! ;-/
