Telemark Skiing
Memories can be good or bad. However, any opportunity that allows you to make good ones should be exploited. Telemark skiing is based on a certain turning technique. It is also known as “free heel skiing”. This turning technique was popularized by Sondre Norheim. He displayed the technique using fluid movements and turns in 1868.
The skis are connected to the toes of the skier using bindings. The skier is supposed to raise his heels and flex his knees so as to pull the ski beneath his body. The body weight of the skier is mainly on the outer ski. Telemark skiing is named after a region in Norway. The technique was revived in the 1970’s. Though its popularity spread, the technique is still considered a minor sport.
