Telemark World Cup Ski Racing

A video by Charlie Dresen

Winter, 2006-- It's probably safe to say that most freeheel skiers are not very familiar with telemark ski racing, especially in North America. This despite the fact that an American-- Reid Sabin of Whitefish, Montana-- not long ago won the Telemark World Cup two years in a row, almost single-handedly putting U.S. tele racing on the map along the way.

With no coaches, no official team training site, and very little financial support, telemark world cup racing in the United States remains a mostly obscure sport. Yet there is a real interest out there, indeed, the movement to get tele racing added to the Winter Olympics continues. And, as this video by World Cup team member Charlie Dresen proves, tele racers are a dedicated bunch.

Take a peek at their world in this interesting and informative video...
