Birth of a Telemarker, Part Two

Video and Story by Mitch Weber

In Part One, we watched as 15 year-old J.T. took his first tentative steps toward becoming a telemark skier. Picking up a few tips from Big Tim along the way, J.T. went from flopping around on the snow at the start to, by the end of Day One, getting down the mountain on skis well enough to begin learning the turn. Full of confidence as always, J. T. was really psyched to get back out on Day Two and begin ripping tele turns.

Will his surfeit of confidence carry J.T. through? Or is he in for a rude awakening as to the level of difficulty involved in learning to tele? And just how far can an athletic kid, with pretty much everything going for him, get along the telemark learning path in just two days? Find out here in Part Two and stick around for further updates as we continue to document the birth of this telemarker.
