Free-Heel Skiing: Telemark and Parallel Techniques for All Conditions (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert Series)

Rating:
Summary: The basics and that's it.
Review: This book briefly touches on all areas of telemark skiing, but doesn't cover any of them particularly well. It would be much better if each section were expanded considerably. There is too much focus on beginning parallel techniques which most readers probably have down already.

Rating:
Summary: Good and solid Teleskiing tech handbook.
Review: This is all you need for if you are beginner or an advanced skier to get to know your teleskis cabability.

Rating:
Summary: it works!
Review: Using only this book and a few random tips from strangers, I picked up telemarking in two days. (I also started with 25 years of alpine experience.) This book is clear, concise, and effective. It made all the difference in the world in getting me skiing expert trails reasonably well by the end of my second day. I am nowhere near handling moguls, glades, ice, cornices, etc., but I did have twenty or so graceful, linked turns in a steep bowl
