Telemark

[EClay46]

hey, im doing a cultural anthropology project on telemark skiing. i was wondering if anyone on NS is a tele skier who lives in the mammoth/tahoe area and would be willing to be interviewed on video, and possibly ski for me so i can get some footage of telemark skiers.

try http://www.freeheellife.com

really the only website dedicaded to freeride telemark

one real legit guy out of South Lake Tahoe ..his names Ty Dayberry

probably out skiis most people in the park at tahoe

and if your real desperate try http://www.telemarktips.com but the website is just full of old people who think that they are better than you

real crabby and bitchy i would say

but good luck

thats sick your doin a report on telemarking

ya i decided to change my topic because there its going to be hard to find a bunch of telemark skiers.

im changing my question to "Skiing, is it more than just a sport?" or something along the lines. with my ethnography i plan on showing that skiing isnt just a sport, its a lifestyle that encompasses many facets of peoples life
