I just happened to tune in after many days and I see my name.
Flip Flop it is obvious to me that you do not know how to ski. If you did you would realize that proper alpine technique is fluid and incorporates movement throughout the turn. If when you have tried it you feel locked in, that's your problem and you need enlightenment. There is a 'rest' phase in a properly executed turn and people who really know how to ski know and use the stacking... But wait a minute , you do not know what I am talking about so I won't waste my breath. While you suffer with every bullshit tele turn, you can wonder what might have been if you ever had put the work in and figured out how to ski.
As I said way back in this thread, I think. What chaps me is tele skiers thinking they are doing something more sporting or pure or difficult. If you think it is so then that is a dead give away that you do not know how to ski. I run into tele skiers that exude that superiority, as though they just did the Eiger in winter, while alpine skiers are working on their tans.
This my experience. And by the way I have telemark skied extensively and still do but on days off or rest days. I use pins and my old stuff. Pretty fun. New tele equipment, stiffer boots, more positive purchase bindings and short shaped wide skis have made tele a walk in the park. Skate skiing, now that is a challenge.
So in addition to not knowing what you are talking about skiing is not surfing or gnarly. Also, anecdotally is spelled like this. Also I do not have sore knees or back. Must be someone else. Leg blasters man! I like to go into ski season fit so I get full value. And remember, no one cares if you tele.

Wow. I'm just talking about my experience. And I ski too Buddy. I've been a ski bum at squaw for about 25 years. I'm sure that I'm not in the caliber of someone like you. You defensive little man.

I have a funny anectode. I met someone who said that Steve Shea is just like Rudy Garnschitt. Great skier. Total dick.

The report from yesterday. High 35F, PP, wind deposit and sunny. Eight trams. 8x4,139'=lots o' vertical. Nice day on the hill but we are starting to look for a storm.
My daughter finished on the first page in three consecutive SG's this weekend. U18/U16 Speed Series here in JH on a beautiful race surface and mostly clear. Hope everyone gets snow. Looks like NE will get it!
And FF if you look, those comments were about boot flex. You know, touch on snow, not pain. Have a great day.

Do you know Cody Thompson? She used to work for Tom Cat in the repair shop. She skied for Team Breck, made the US Development Team, then quit alpine and made the US Tele Team. I picked her up for sponsorship while with Rossignol. Awesome skier she is! We had many great days at The Big. Now she is back to alpine mostly.
Do you know some my old climbing partners Larry Bruce and Molly Higgins? They live in WFMT.
