I am looking into getting some tele bindings bc i think it would be fun and it looks sick af. Telecolo on yt is my favorite group that uses tele in park. i feel like it can just change the game in park skiing.
 
I'd say telemark skiing is really cool but more so out of the park than in the park. try it and you'll understand. either way it's mega fun. it's just hard to do much other than straight hit a rail on tele skis.
 
If you are looking at a career in tele park skiing you should not be the kind of person who looks for validation from the masses

Depends how much $$ you want to spend. You can find some old boots and cable bindings for pretty cheap, but they kinda suck. If you want a new setup, some of the new gear thats been released (scarpa's new boot, 22's new binding) looks pretty sick. If you're buying used, you'll want to make sure there's no cracks in the shell of the boot, binding cables aren't frayed, and pivot points aren't worn out. 22 Designs will refresh the bushings on their bindings if you send them in, not sure about other companies. Doesn't really matter what ski you put everything on if you're just starting. Start doing lunges at the gym now, so you won't destroy your legs on your first day on snow.

Make sure both cartridges on each ski screw in and out properly. I bought a pair where one side couldn’t be adjusted to the boot so the heel was off center.
 
I have tried the new scarpa boots and 22 ntns. Very yes. Super durable and robust. No need to fear buttering. You will break before the bindings.

How'd you like the new TX Pro? I've got the TX Comp and don't need new boots yet but I'm experiencing the urge to spend money on ski gear again.
 
Plastic boots instead of leather = - 200 aura

dropping knee on/after park features for no reason = -800 aura

choose wisely op

Tele skiing is for people that crave attention, but aren't good enough to stand out on normal bindings

I don’t know man i feel like it’s just a completely diff thing. J something new
 
Tele is steeze as fuck. As someone who rips both teles/alpines I say everyone should have a pair of teles to rip around on. While they are harder to do cool tricks on in the park when I want a day to just mess around and flow and not worry about doing any big tricks I just throw my teles on, pop in some groovy tunes, and you enter a flow state that cannot be achievable on alpines. It’s also really great for your knees too! Helps work out the stiffness that I get when I’ve been riding really hard. Pow days are also soooo much better on teles. You’re halfway closer to the ground so every turn is a face shot.
 
When i was a kid i was at a railjam and one guy with tele was the steeziest of them all he was doing really nice rail tricks on tele
 
Holysmokes. Your broken slides are sick as fuck. Dropped a follooowwww.

I thought you typically listen to your thoughts while skiing
 
however hard you think tele is it's actually 5 times harder. to actually do a proper lunge into a turn is super challenging. i wish i had grown up doing it but i don't feel the need to burn a whole season getting good enough to ski the stuff i'm used to
