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...
