Telemark modern ski guide

Here are the ski categories I like and the use I make of it.

All Around skis (80mm to 95mm) For inbound, usually ski patrolling

I will look for:

90mm underfoot

15m-16m radius

reduced rocker

traditional tip shape

underfoot camber

Don’t take them short even if you want to play in the trees

Weight is often not important. I will mount these skis with a full frame binding like the BMF from Bishop or the Outlaw X from 22Designs.

I use these skis to rail turns on groomers, ski trees, bumps, all inbounds, with some quick outbound laps.

It’s been a couple of years I have skied a perfect ski in this category.

In the last two years, I’ve tried the Salomon QST 90, the Nordica EnRgy 90, the Nordica Enforcer, Atomic Backland 95, Black Diamond Helio 95, Black Diamond Route 88, Bishop Gonzo.

My favourites were the Salomon QST and the Bishop Gonzo.

My all-time favourites were the Black Diamond Warrant (2013) and the Black Diamond Aspect (2012). See the Philosophy section to learn why

Backcountry Telemark, Touring skis (100mm to 120mm)

I will look for:

110-115mm underfoot

lots of rocker (350mm+) soft shovel. I don’t mind the early rise tips for big powder skis.

some camber underfoot, avoid full rockered ski (banana shaped ski are not the best for telemark)

tail: not a lot of rocker and stiffer . If you lose balance and end up in the back seat, it will be harder to bring back.

radius is absolutely not important but it is usually around 18m- 22m

Weight is definitely important and I will aim for around 3 kg per pair.

Don’t hesitate to go longer than you are used to. 5 to 10cm longer is my general reference. The big rocker will still make the skis quick. In the end, it’s all about the float you need in the deep days.
