[ Gary S. ]

Which is why some of us try to avoid calling it tele gear, but use a
term like backcountry skis (which of course shows my bias as to
preferred location to use it).

How about "freeheel"? This sounds like a technical description of the
gear (the other category being "fixed heel"), with no bias as to
skiing technique or location.
