IM 0 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Telemark=Free heel Freeski = I don't know, Free ride?=back country free ride. Free your heel, free your mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Siren 0 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 I understand that telemark usually refers to the turn (one ski ahead of the other and bending the knee of the back leg) and free-heel includes telemark and cross-country. Freeski seems to be same as freeride including doing tricks in the park? Link to post Share on other sites
stumpalama 0 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 From what I reemember, the term "Free Ski" came about from the former World Extreme Skiing Championships. The concensus was that extreme was too limiting a term, so they called it "Free Skiing", meaning anyway and everyway to get down the mountain in on piece while exploiting as many natural terrain features as on desired. It's all about 'free think', free ski! Link to post Share on other sites
