Telemark Ski Lessons
Telemark or freeheel skiing is a form of descending on snow, differing from traditional alpine skiing by the nature of the turn and the equipment. Telemark is a physical, graceful and flowing form of skiing. It is a versatile and maneuverable technique that enables you to both climb up and ski down hills with one type of equipment.

In alpine skiing, the binding locks the ski boot in place, including the heel. When descending, the skis are side by side, or parallel.

In telemark skiing, the bindings have a free heel, not fixed, allowing movement of the heel of the ski boot. The turning technique for descending in telemark style requires one ski to push forward and the other to fall back at the same time. Telemark Skiing, or free-heeling, was developed in Norway in the 1860's by Sondre Norheim.
