Telemark turns

A Telemark turn is a skiing technique that blends elements of a traditional parallel turn with the style of a classic cross-country ski. It involves shifting your weight onto the inside edge of the downhill ski, allowing the skier to make smooth, rounded turns while maintaining a bent-knee, balanced stance. This style is characterized by a fluid, graceful movement often used in off-piste skiing or cross-country to navigate turns with agility and control. Properly executed, it allows for efficient turning on variable snow conditions and terrain, combining agility with a natural, flowing motion.
