Episode

This week I speak with my good friend Richard Schürf. He grew up in Munich, Germany and was introduced to Telemark skiing through Paul Parker and Yvon Chouinard while he was working for Patagonia in the 1980s.
He's had a long career as a distributor for iconic Telemark brands like Karhu as well as many others. These days he runs a successful Telemark event tour with nearly a dozen stops and is endlessly promoting Telemark across the European continent.
We also announce our exciting partnership between Freeheel Life and Freeheeler.eu, which is his organization in Europe. We'll have a few pairs of our Protector skis over in Europe at his Festival tour stops that people can ski on.

So fun to see you with Richard! I’m the *other* American telemarker (of course Bob Mazarei is *the* American telemarker over here). Anyway I’m based in Sweden and was thinking you might also be interested in interviewing Per Stålle Grude from Norway. He hosts the midsommar event at Fonna glacier and of course is buds with Richard.
Meet you at Hintertux next week, Josh?

Hey! Awesome to hear from you. Yeah Per would be a fun interview for sure and met him several times over the years. I'll try to reach out to him soon.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it over this year to Hintertux but will for sure try next year. Thanks for listening to the podcast and I hope you have a great time at the event! Best, Madsen
