During WWII, some norwegian guys kalled "the Heroes of Telemark" did several actions of sabotage in Rjukan (in Telemark, Norway) to prevent the German nuclear energy project from acquiring heavy water, which could be used to produce nuclear weapons!
Telemark skiing got nothing to do with the WW2 sabotage operation. As you can see from the video, telemark skiiers raise the heel on the inner ski in order to make a turn.This requiers a special binding with loose heels. Sondre Nordheim, who lived in Telemark, developed a binding for this purpose with a strap behind the heel, which makes the skiis much more stabile. This is the reason it's called telemark skiing.
The guys were never called heroes of Telemark. That is just the name of the stupid hollywood movie from Rjukan. The boys were in two groups called Grous and Gunnerside
Nice! i love telemark, and the views from the helmet from the front and the skis really help me to find better technique! anyway 3.17 - 3.40 was reaaaally trickey!
WORD! That was SO sick. I never would have noticed the Rabbit for the sloughage, thanks for pointing that out. And for the record, Telemarking is not Alpine Skiing with a handicap it's the other way around and these guys are rad. Telemarking IS skiing.
You got some really good footage here. Love it. The snow is beautiful! Love telemarking. Check out my telemark movie of a friend, have it on my user... really good as well.
@colorfast I suppose you meant parallel turns. If you didn't, would you care to tell me what you meant with "alpine moves"? ;) And for the record, I didn't see any of them making parallels... Anyway, this is one of the best telemark clips I've seen, just incredibly talented skiers!
people, really, how can you say anyone sucks at telemark?
just a guess, but i bet none of you even telemark (i dont) let alone telemark better then him. even getting air is amazing, and did you not see how deep that powder was??? that takes so much strength and endurance!
where?

Telemark was the greatest act of sabotage in military history, credit to the Norweigans for that.
