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 :-)

Telemark

Just want to know if there is more telemarkskier on SnowHeads, it could be interresting to have advice from each other about Skis/boots, and so on, even if there is some event in europe, The big events like Stubaitelefest and Livingo, we all know about, but there is more in the alps,Pyrenees, Scotland and the Sibiliinis (Middle Italie) Very Happy

Hello I am a Telemarker! Try www.tb3.ch for fun tele races here in The Valais region of Switzerland. 2 are held in the Portes du Soleil, Torgon and Les Crosets this season. Light hearted fun races with interesting themes, great prizes, and unique t shirts/ hats on entry!

there's quite a few; I can think of about 7 just off the top of my head (including the Team GB captain!), plus another brave few who've had a go (me included). I'm sure someone started a similar thread but it must have been ages ago - might be worth searching telemark as a thread title

I had my first tele lesson/taster the other week, and it was knackering and well hard learning curve, but great fun which has tempted me to look at a setup of my own

Freeheel, theres quite a few of us skiing here in England at the Pennine clubs and up at Raise in the Lake District, when we have the snow Sad

Scotland is an excellent option for Telemark with great skiing on the slopes, off piste and cross country through the trees. There are specialist Telemark shops in Braemar and Aviemore and it is probably the friendliest place in Europe to ski too.

I'm a novice telemarker having had a couple of lessons in the UK and then having just got back from my first 10 days on tele in Austria!

Surprised how much I improved over the holiday...still LOTS of falling over but at least I was having fun doing it! Very Happy

I've just started to tele over here in Vermont, US. Lots of freeheelers over on this side of the pond, especially VT. I'm bringing my setup to Switz & Austria in less than 2 weeks! I've been alpining for 20years & I found the transition rather quick actually. I had a one day clinic & I could link some nice turns by the end of the day, although I'm certainly not completely comfortable yet & my balance is not what I'd like it to be. Hopefully 8 days in europe will help!!

ok

Skis; salomon foils with rottefella R8s (also have springs for R6s) (skis recycled from alpine- bindings taken from ebay skis- movement freeheels then sold on)

Boots; Scarpa T2X


Skis on top of wardrobe waiting for some second hand plate bindings (hammerheads, Bishops or Linken I think) - Line Prophet Flites (I have skins for Prophets the same size)


Home knit Llama wool hats - several- although they are metaphorical.

I usually tele when skiing with family for sociability/fun/interest but ski Alpine when off for the week with big boys. Have tried taking tele and alpine gear on family hols- but flying Liverpool- Geneva with; 4 pairs of skis, 4 pairs of boots, Mrs Ed, a push chair, a weeks supply of nappies and 3 kids is doable - but not pleasant. When th ekids can cope with the drive then will alpine and tele at will.
