A group of friends hype up telemark skiing as harder and cooler than regular skiing, stripping away conventional equipment for a purer experience. Their energy starts high but fades as the day darkens and fatigue sets in.
So we're super excited. We're going telemark skiing today. It's so cool. We can't wait. Yeah, telemark skiing. Telemark skiing is just so cool. We just think we're just so out there doing it. It's the coolest thing going. Yeah, it's just so different. So yeah, people think we're cool because we do it. Can't wait. It's just going to be a rad day, isn't it? Super rad day. We're going telemarking in these It's so salty. It's just so freeing. It's just so refreshing. Free the heel. Free the mind. So, uh, just so everybody knows, Joey and I are going telemarketing today. Alright. What's that? Why would you telemarketing at all? Why? Those telemarketing fellas look like the biggest poofs on the hill. Yeah, telemarketing is gay. It's just those stupid boots. They're the biggest wake discs I've ever seen in my life. Telemarketers are so not hot. Telemarketers are not hot. Hey boss, we're off telemarking today. Telemarking rules! Okay, whatever. Hey Joey, make sure you do like telemoves just so everybody knows that we're telemarketing. What are these clowns up to? Ready, get some, get some! Woo! So sick, so sick! You're all doing kind of my thing. We're the old school guys. Yeah! How cool is that? How cool is telemarking, dude? I love it. I'm buying a pair. Sweet things like this. Yeah, we're all doing that. Yeah, Don, so cool. Hey man, crews and telemarking is cool. All the young kids are doing it. We're setting the trends. We're setting it. Trendsetters. Ivo, we're telemarking, man. We're telemarking. Yeah, baby. Show us those free heels. Check us out, ladies. Hey Harrison, telemark's pretty cool, isn't it? It's actually pretty cool. I hope my girlfriend doesn't climb out of that thing. It feels so cool to be able to put skins on and go into the backcountry. Look at these young guys just loving it. Found the soul of skiing. Kids have found like the soul of skiing. Maybe, yeah. I mean, nowadays the kids are really lazy, but they used to be They discover something new which they like, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the first time or the last time actually they go on a rescue. All right, let's shred! I've heard people say that like big jumps, freestyle, all that sort of stuff that's very progressive. But really the most progressive thing is telemark skiing. You take something hard like skiing and you just make it harder. You just take away some element of it. It'd be like doing athletics with no pants on and you're not allowed shoes and maybe just tying one foot to your ass. That's pretty much what telemark skiing is, progressive. This part kind of sucks, doesn't it? Not so fun. This is not the fun part. No. Yeah. When you grab a hold of me, tell me that I'll never be set free. But out there outside, creep and crawl or slip into the night. Okay, so it's getting a bit darker now, and yeah, we didn't really get that many turns in. So yeah, starting to rethink this whole till the light is gone. Why does it feel weird? My legs don't want to work. Can you tell Mark he's dumb? So dumb. This is Joey stopping for the, uh, 5th time on High Noon. Push on, you sucker. Just needed a breather. From loose heels to just loose.
