When I first tried a telemark ski, it was December of 2020. I fell on my face at least ten times in two runs. To say that I was humbled would be an understatement. I had watched hours of youtube videos the night before from people all over the globe attempting to explain the miracle that is the telemark turn. I often hear the term “telemarketer” thrown around jokingly, and I think it is absoultely the correct word to use in this context.
