Good to see a vid addressing one of most common mistakes. The tele turn on modern gear is NOT a lunge. It's a curtsy. Your ski pressure should be close to 50/50. Crush that uphill ski/tighten up!
@@rogerpalin5864 I have custom-made pressure sensors under my feet. Readily available to everyone. They keep them under counter at Surefoot. Just kidding. All feel.
Loving this One Hot Minute. I’ve always found it helpful to think about stepping forward (“a boot width”) into a shallow lunge… which implies weighting and stepping off the inside ski… which helps keep the fight tight. This approach helps setup ready for carving from turn to turn as riders progress. All the best for the rest of the northern hemisphere season
I’m day 2 into telemarking and keeping things tight is crucial. Day 1 was loaded with crashes as that back leg was too far back and would drift and cross at higher speeds.
I wanted to get into telemark skiing, The only back country-ish/twin tip Ski I currently own is the new line chronic 94 Is it worth mounting a telemark binding on it, or should I buy a different pair of skis?
Right on! I always recommend putting more money into the boot and binding choice and simply using the skis you have. The Chronics will work great for starting out. I would recommend doing a more directional mount at first, meaning don't necessarily mount them for switch riding with a center-mount. Hope that helps and let me know how it goes. Cheers - Madsen

Excellent ! There is so many people who dont have access to a Telemark instructor, that's the kind of video they need, keep that line Josh 👍
Thanks, will do! - Madsen
I'm a beginner and this one hot minute really helps, thanks!
Right on! Thanks for letting me know and stoked to help out a little. Cheers. - Madsen
The boot width between the front heel and rear toe was the most important and actionable tip here for me, thank you!
No worries! Glad that part resonated the most with you. Keep me in the loop with your progress. - Madsen

I always tell folks to sink DOWN on the back foot, not push it back behind you.
Right on! - Madsen
