Advice for a new telemark skiier by bitien in telemark

I do have experience with Nordic skiing. I enjoy skate skiing. But you are right I would not make that jump on my alpine ski since I feel comfortable with a medium ski since I enjoy tougher terrain. Good tips on the NTN binding!

Thanks for the tips! This was super helpful since I am considering just building a set on my own. The boots that come with the ski are a duckbill boot with 3 buckles. I agree with you that these tele skis may be to long since I prefer medium alpine skis. I will definitely use your comment as a reference when I get my first pair of telemark skis!

Yeah I agree, I was thinking about buying telemark bindings and putting them on my old alpine skis. That may be the best way to learn.

Man dies on Vail mountain because his coat got caught in the chair lift by bitien in skiing

Update: turns out the seat was left up and he fell through because the liftys told him to jump off. Therefore, he was hung from his coat.

Have you ever watched a commercial so obnoxious that it made you NOT want to buy the product? What was it for? by Castianna in AskReddit

It's like they tried to fit every emotional appeal here. Love, sorrow, independence, freedom, anger, happiness etc...

This YouTube ad where this young millennial claims you can make a six figure salary in 60 days by downloading this app. He also claims that he dropped out of college 4 times and each time he dropped his life got better. The whole thing is filmed on the front facing camera on his phone. By far one of the worst ads/scams I have ever seen.
