Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

She is now officially the most successful British skier of all time. The telemarker has more World Cup podiums than any GB skier has achieved. And now 30 World Cup podiums.

Yes - do so. And you can't go to a better event than the Army organised Telemark Training and GB Championships. Back in Pralognan la Vanoise next year, Jan 9-21 (and for 2 years after that). Prices still held at £900 for full board, lift pass, instruction and racing. Travel extra. You also won't find a higher standard group of French and English telemark instructors any where, so the very best instruction is guaranteed. See post "Telemarkers and Those Who Would like to Give It A Go - Brilliant Event Jan 2020" - here https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=148476&view=next
Signing up will open much earlier this year - in spring.

0830 GMT. And both World Cup and Junior WC. So 4 runs. Good day yesterday with Silver for Jaz in Classic. Tim Gough had a seriously impressive/scary jump.
And some great telemarking with the team.

@colinstone, yes another good result for Jaz. And local Swiss skier Martina Wyss (her family own a jewelers shop in Lauterbrunnen and her father Peter is an instructor with Wengen ski school so she was racing on her home ground so to speak) won both yesterday's and today's races, which together with her previous World Cup podium positions and wins gives her the World Cup crystal globe. Congratulations to Martina! Cool

Yup. We know Martina and the family shop well - Mrs S has taken a liking to Mondaine horology and they always have a chat about Martina vs Jaz.

Missed that this morning Sad I hope they will put a recording up somewhere.

I see the telemark parallel slalom is a mix of traditional parallel slalom and ski cross with some opportunities for actual contact. More Brits than just Jaz racing as well.

Yes, Jaz never gave up, she is quite small but a real powerhouse in the final skating section!

They are both friends of mine, Norwegian Per Ståle Grude who often Telemark skis with a traditional lurk (a single long pole which was the traditional way of skiing) and he does a lot to promote Telemark skiing, here's a photo of his van:



and the other is Richard Schürf from Germany who organises the Freeheeler event at Hintertux and publishes Freeheeler magazine: https://freeheeler.eu/

@Alastair Pink, And a great event in mid June at Fonna Glacier, inland of Bergen. 23-27 June 2022, camping, skiing and skin up glacier for sunset at about 2330.
The Fonna team are currently digging out the lift from under 10m of snow.

Applause for all that Jaz has achieved. Truly a star ahead of Dave Ryding. Tele doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Ponder for a moment the achievement of Martina Wyss (Lauterbrunnen) she swept the board at World Cup winning Sprint, Parallel Slalom, Classic and oddly overall. The crystal globes stand proudly in mum and grandmums shop.
If I possessed the IT skills I would share the picture. Martina only switched to Tele 4/5 years ago and won Swiss championship in her first season.......truly extraordinary achievement

She's a real inspiration. My lad started telemarking about a year ago. Only at Chill factor but he really enjoys it and doesn't half look up to Jaz

@lpsmc1, Colin is serious.

A few years ago I started chatting to a bloke in tele boots at the mid station in Argentiere (I also tele). He was Seb Mansart- the GB coach, I mentioned that my son also tele'd and that we followed Jaz. A few minutes later Ben was having a ski with Jaz, a few minutes after that they suggested he think about going to some of the GB training camps.
