Tips From The Telemarktips Crew.
Urmas Franosch
Urmas Franosch is a former PSIA Telemark
Demo Team member who has been teaching telemark at Mammoth Mountain
for more than two decades. In addition to being a gifted teacher
and master of the tele turn, Urmas also serves as the PSIA-West
Nordic Chief Examiner, in other words he instructs other tele
instructors on how to instruct.
With his easy style and friendly enthusiasm,
in the last decade Franosch has helped more people discover the
stoke of the tele turn than just about anyone else in North America
. When it comes to teaching telemark, nobody does it better.
Urmas is the newest member of the Telemarktips crew, and we look
forward to sharing much more from him on down the line. This
dude simply rocks.

Tom Petersen
Tom Petersen simply loves to teach. "I
just want tele skiers to be able to improve their skills so they
can enjoy themselves more while skiing in the backcountry or
at the resorts," Petersen told us when we first met him
a few years ago. To this end, "Tele Tom" as he was
then known around the town of Mammoth Lakes, would give free
Sunday morning telemark lessons on the hill.
Countless numbers of folks took advantage
of Tom's offer, learning to tele from this PSIA Level Three instructor
with a passion for passing along his knowledge.
In addition to instructing, Tom is also
a full-time race coach at Mammoth in the winter, and a much in
demand fly fishing guide in the summer. |

Dano Cruz
In the tradition of telemark
individualism, Dano Cruz does his own thing, and fortunately
for us, that thing very often happens to be sharing his unique
and infectious enthusiasm for the sport of telemark skiing. A
world traveller and raconteur extrodinaire, Dano has a knack
for inspiring his many great friends and loyal followers to take
their skiing to even higher levels.
The spirit of Telemarktips.com
has always been about letting folks know that we are having a
helluva lot of fun and that they just might want to be a part
of it. Dano Cruz is the flesh and blood embodiment of that ethic. |
