Telemark skiing is a term used for skiing using the telemark turn which is a technique first developed by Sondre Norheim. It is also known as 'free heel skiing'. Unlike Alpine skiing equipment, the skies used for telemarking have a binding that only connects the boot to the ski at the toes, just as in cross-country skiing. Telemark turns are led with the heel flat on the outside ski, while the inside ski is pulled beneath the skier's body with a flexed knee and raised heel. The skis are staggered but parallel, and 50-80% of the body weight is distributed on the outer ski depending on snow conditions. |
