"My name is Tor Stetson-Lee, I'm from
Durango, Colorado, and a couple of years ago I was an exchange
student living in South America. I've been skiing and Nordic
racing since doe a few years and I was missing the snow."
"One late night I was surfing the
web and I found Telemarktips. I read an article and watched a
video from the tele freeskiing competition at Alpine Meadows
that year. I thought, 'wow, I could learn to do that,' and look
at me now, I'm on the podium here in Crested Butte."
Tor said he read everything he could find
on our site and plunged right in, determined to ski tele at the
highest level in the shortest amount of time possible.
It was really obvious to me that this guy
was really happy to be standing on the podium with some of the
best tele skiers in the world, guys like Dylan Crossman and Scott
Barady, but what really struck me most was how totally stoked
Tor was on the sport.
In six full seasons of publishing Telemarktips
-- the Telemark and Backcountry Skiing Online Magazine, hearing
his story was one of the best things that has happened to me.--
