I've never done tele turns on my skate skies. Now I'm inspired.

I do tele turns on my skate skis here and there every time I do XC skating, but nearly every moment is a difficult, awkward, and cumbersome struggle not to loose control and fall. This guy, OMG, makes it look effortless and easy. The reason I do tele turns on skate and classic skis is to improve my overall tele turns. I have discovered the more I practice on gear not intended for telemark, like skate skis, the better my tele turns are on my XCD gear.

For anyone who sees this and thinks it looks too hard to learn i used to think that as well until i tried it. I just went up the mountain one day and put some music on and grinded starting doing just single turns and then connecting them and learned how to do this actually pretty well in about 3-4 hours. Was linking turns going down a black slope by the end and by god is it satisfying. Was on rental gear cause i don’t ski enough to justify ownership and was on classics. Idk if they are easier or harder

Bravo!
Wow nice Video as always. Would love a new crush snow video soon.
Very, very cool!
incredible
xc Telemark!
This is very cool.
snow must be heavily compacted. Excellent job!
I want this to be my life one day
I want to ski in a place like that with that skill, ha
Side cut? Whatever... All mountain? as if... Rocker? Oh please...
Coming from an expert tele guy here, to do this smooth on skate skis, require soft/wet snow conditions which the guy has, but even then, to do it repeatedly smoothly and effective like he did is close to impossible.
これも気持ちいいですな!!!!!!!
Backcountry skiing is so much fun. Although in the East one has to contend with trees, snowshoers and dogs, so the skinny skis don't work well with that. I find wider skis with metal edges are better.
wow

What skis are those??
Блеск! Зачем нужны горные лыжи, если так уметь на равнинных?
You guys should be paid to durability test new bindings!

I’d really like to know, what makes it a challenge to ski downhill with Nordic skis? Ignorant, and asking.

They're extremely difficult to handle because they're narrow, they don't have metal edges and your heel isn't attached to the ski

Just looking at them you’d never know but boy do you find out as soon as you put em on. I’ve been doing nordic since i was like 4 but i mainly do downhill and it’s still hard going back. As the other guy said it’s narrowness and an unfixed heel and uncurved edges
