IM 0 Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Most of teles go where resort riders do not, where people can not see us. Actually, you would see them in Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Nagano. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I usually see a few teleskiers at Nozawa. They get off at the top of the gondola, then disappear. Secretive lot. A bit like Kamoshika. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Happo has a handfull of tele skiers, along with Aokiko and Norikura, not to mention Niseko.... I:m sure many other places have too. Tend to see less on weekends, though. Proportionally a lot at Hak47 last Monday. More seen at resorts during/just after bad weather, when backcountry skiing too high risk, but really not that many yet anyway. Definitely seems to be getting more popular every year, though. As for which are suited, places with good BC access. But really, being as telemarking is the most versatile slider, anywhere is good, depending on the telemarkers pref. snow cond, terrain...

enderzero 0 Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 ..or like makkurokurosuke? I have never personally tele'ed, but I was under the impression most tele'ers were into the steeps. Link to post Share on other sites
telehugh 0 Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Telemarkers are everywhere...and a lot of telemarkers are backcountry skiers - but resort skiing happens to. Myoko Kogen gets a lot of tele'ers as do Niseko, and Kagura Hachimantai (mainly off piste). Basically most tele'ers like powder, space, trees and hate ice, moguls and incompetent racers who carve you up. Free your heel, free your mind Link to post Share on other sites

Snowhaus 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 There are a few of us here at Hakkouda in Aomori. I'm a newbie at the sport, but most of the guys here go off. Free the heel, free the soul. The best come back I have heard to that is - fix the heel, fix the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
