One would need telemark skis if they are skiing a course that has many turns or if they are interested in performing a lot of carving while skiing. Slalom skiing is another reason one would prefer telemark skis as they allow the user to make more precise turns.

What are telemark skis?
Telemark skis are skis which emulate an early adaptation to Nordic/cross country skiing, often credited to Sandre Norheim (excuse spelling) of Norway. Originally the telemark skiing method enabled the nordic skier to descend moderately angled snowy slopes with an increased amount of control, and with little or no equipment modifications. A controlled ski descent of a snowy slope is accomplished by turning to maneuver and meter speed. The classical telemark turn is accomplished with one heel touching the outside/downhill/leading ski and the other heel raised from the inside/uphill/trailing ski. Done effectively, this position requires significant bending of both knees, and some twisting of the hips/torso. Today, telemark skiing is a form of alpine skiing. Telemark ski equpment varies from conventional alpine ski equipment or from alpine touring ski equipment regarding boots and bindings. Through a specially designed boot, Telemark ski equipment fastens the toe and the ball(widest part) of each foot to a ski. The heel of the telemark foot/boot can pivot vertically, with some resistance, about the ball of the telemark foot/boot.

Ultimately, it is important to remember the value and spirit of recreation does not often depend on competition or argument, and that recreation is often more fun when done with others.
