Fellow Freeheel Lifers. I have decided to take the majority of our video content onto the YouTube platform so we can go deeper on instructional, analysis, and more!

Each level gives you more and more access to Behind the scenes photos and status updates, Exclusive members-only videos, Personal thank you videos, and MORE!

We’ll continue to offer some free content there, but we hope you’ll consider supporting the work directly. Always.

The 2022-23 Utah ski season was literally one for the books with over 900+ of snow in our local Wasatch mountains.

Since the winter can get busy, it's common to have a bunch of clips left over at the end of the season. So here's Clip Dump 001 to keep you cooled off with some great Telemark turns and good times in the mountains.

Paul Flück started Telemark skiing back in 1989 and has been involved with everything from retail, to event management, marketing, and more. During the 2014-15 season he came up with a way to rent out the entire ski area of Schilthorn Piz-Gloria and create an on-hill experience called Telemark Only, where only Telemark skiers are allowed on the mountain for a private weekend event. 500-600 Telemark skiers continue to go to this event each year now and it’s THE spot to go in early May to wrap up the Telemark season worldwide.

We at Freeheel Life are super excited to partner up with Telemark Only. I think you’ll enjoy this conversation that sheds light on this incredible event.

Episode #174 is LIVE!

Jakob Schiller is from New Mexico where he grew up and went to school. As a high schooler, and when the snow was lousy at his local resort, he used to pull out a pair of 210 cm Tua skis mounted with flimsy Voile telemark bindings and then strap on a pair of thrift shop leather telemark boots. This is how he got started in Telemark skiing many years ago.

He’s worked as a journalist for the likes of POWDER magazine, SKI, Outside, WIRE, and more over the years. But it was his recent piece in SKI, titled EVERYONE SHOULD OWN A TELEMARK SETUP, that caught my attention. We had a great conversation of what drives people to Telemark ski, how it looked back when both of us started vs. now, and maybe where it’s heading.

Our buddy Chip Chase sent us this today. He’s enjoying some lightweight skinny turns in West Virginia.

One Hot Minute | How to Choose Your Pole Length for Telemark Skiers There are some simple ways to find a basic measurement that will work for your ski pole length, but @TeleTay gives you his take on how he does it. Often times Telemark skiers may choose to use a shorter ski pole length due to the nature of the turn that takes their body closer to the ground. Of course this is all personal preference, but many freeheelers will tell you that they prefer shorter poles over longer poles for the descent. #ProtectorsOfTheTurn #SpreadTelemark #FreeheelLife #Telemark #TelemarkSkiing #TelemarkSki #Skiing #Ski
