Telemark skiing is a unique and challenging form of skiing that has been gaining popularity in recent years. This style of skiing involves a specialized binding that allows the heel to be free, allowing for more control and versatility on the slopes. In addition to the thrill and excitement of the sport, telemark skiing also offers a number of health benefits.
