If you are thinking about upgrading your tele gear – maybe investing in some touring gear then get in touch ASAP…. the bargains will be SNAPPED up over the coming 6 – 8 weeks!!

telemark-skiing.co.uk is now BASI qualified

What a challenging course! The BASI level 2 telemark course has been good fun and will enable telemark-skiing.co.uk to continue to provide quality telemark skiing instruction here in the Midlands and beyond throughout the coming year and into the future.
Thanks John for your input and support!!

Still working hard!!

Heads and shoulders, knees and toes!
Or something like that :-)
It’s coming together – I hope.

It's snowing!

Lovely conditions on the top of th mountain but here in the valley it is just miserable rain :-( (

Mayerhofen!

Pretty little town BUT today just about everything was shut!
Tried hitch hiking back to Hintertux…. No joy….. Anyone had success hitching in this neck of the woods?
Matt

Great spring snow!

Sun, snow, good company – working hard at developing new skills and techniques!!! A hard day in the office.
Matt

Working Hard

Today’s challenges have been no less than before. A different set of skis made the first few runs a little wobbly to say the least BUT the other guys on the course feel they are better for improving my technique….. Perhaps not as good asy twin tips for in the snow park BUT you can’t win em all. Here’s to continued development over the coming week.

Remember nobody notices that you ski on alpine gear!!!

Matt

Oh boy!!!

Do you ever have days where your body struggles to do what it is told? The course is great fun but remains challenging – which is good – that which don’t break you makes you stronger!!! Here’s hoping – 7 more days to go.
Happy skiing.
Matt

Another great day in Hintertux

Legs feeling stronger today although I wouldn’t class myself as match fit. Looking forward to the continuing sessions / input / coaching over the next 8 days.
Video feedback has been constructive and identified a few areas of my own skiing that i can develop – which in turn will enable to instruct and guide my own clients through their own telemark skiing develpment.
Will try to post some photos tomorrow.
Happy skiing.
Matt
