Telemark Ski Lessons

How did you get on? We did our first telemark last season and have just done another three days on our last ski trip. I love it. The great feeling of "flow" when you get the turns right is wonderful. I've just read that skiing alpine style on telemark kit is a great way to get your balance sorted once and for all - if you get it wrong you eat snow pretty fast...
