Telemark skiing backcountry. Patagonia 2018

Courage and beauty. Grace and transcendence. Another victory for the human spirit. Your struggle is absolutely worth it. You're the reason I telemark. Thank you for making these movies!

How many tele skiers does it take to change a light bulb? 4. One to put in the light bulb, and 3 to say "nice turns". NICE TURNS! Why do "we" tele? I started alpine skiing in 1964. By the time I was 52, (15 years ago) I'd decided it was time to try something else (I tried snowboarding off and on for about 5 years, as my sons were avid snowboarders) and thought it was time to try tele. I was instantly addicted. I took my sons out and after one day, they were addicted as well. There is an elegance to it that is very rewarding, aesthetically. It engages more of my brain than alpine skiing because there's just more going on, physically, dynamically, and mentally. It presents more opportunity to use it as a means of self expression. It requires a very precise fore-aft balance point - especially with a tight stance. The other great thing is no one on a chairlift ever thinks "he sucks"....they just think, "what the hell is he doing"! 😉

Unbelievable story and cinematography , Hard Die Tele Skiers , hats off !!

Hi guys, this is by far one of the best telemark movie ever. I'm talking not only about places and filming but mostly about the way you tell the story and feel about telemark skiing. Congrats

I've alpine skied for almost 50 years. I discovered the new Rottefella Tele bindings and by next season I had the full set up. Now I have several pairs of telemark skis for all sorts of terrain.

What a beautiful movie, amazing scenery and shots 👏👏🔥🔥

this looks so awesome!! Patagonia would be a dream right now!

literally came here to find an answer to the question she brings up at 1:12--and her answer was perfect. a, it was hilarious to me because I can't figure out why anyone would telemark. b, because who gives a shit what I think. she's clearly good at it, enjoys it, and doesn't stress about explaining it to anyone. guess I have my answer.

Great pictures, well put together. What an adventure.

Oh my word classic views. Awesome presentation guys!

This is brilliant. So proud of you guys. Beautiful video, awesome adventure. Nicely done!!

After 20 years of only Tele skiing I decided to give it up and fix the heel this season. Well, that decision lasted just long enough to buy a new pair of Tele skis and bindings :) Loved the video!

Cero Torre killer. My favorite backpack trip. Tele even better! The notion lock the heal fix the problem, piss off. I say drop the knee, drop the sport!. If you really want to learn how to ski learn tele, no cheating in the back seat. Walking up and down the mountain, you explained it perfectly. Never give up you killed it! Tele 4 life. Well at least until I can't, then die no reason to live. Who knows who you saw ripping and who changed your life depending on where you were it could be me. Gad you found it. The turn truly is life changing, changed mine in 1995. Mark thank you for the swap of bike parts, leather boots and skis.

Great vid as usual. Had a great 10 days skiing with Indio and Juan in October this year. Agree with your comments on Patagonia. Fantastic place. Also great guides- highly recommended. Left my Tele skis at home. It's AT for me now in the back country - only Tele the resorts. When Scarpa comes up with a Tele boot with the range of motion and weight of its F1 I will Tele the back country again.

Wow! This is the best BC/Telemark video I’ve ever seen. I really appreciate your no-nonsense candid approach to telling it like it is! I also appreciate your controlled style. Too much is focused on the ‘extreme’ and speed nowadays. Nice to see the grace in your dance of turns! I also thought this was a great tour because of the work you put in to get to those turns. You’re definitely right that looked like a great road trip! Peace and have a great year!

Perfect narrative voice

Great vid connected me with tele roots in this time "Tele till your jelly"

I don’t have an answer either! But I’ve been a tele freak for 27 years! Rip it.

I say someone and tele at my local resort and was curious to say the least. Thanks for putting this fantastic video together answering the "why?". Magnificent location and editing was the cherry on top.

Great video guys. Know what I ‘m going to dream of next time I sleep
