Does anyone here telemark ski?

I ask the question because I tele'd for more than 20 years but now, age and multiple surgery's do not allow me to do so anymore.
That being said. I have 4 pairs of telemark skis that I will never use again.
All are older but most mounted with hammerhead bindings.
I also have several pairs of Scarpa boots. In size 10.

I hate to see them just sitting in the basement and would love to have them to get more turns.

I know this is not a sales forum, but this is so specialized that it was by last hope.

Some of my greatest memories were doing tele turns in deep power with Mitch Weber.
If you know that reference, you know what I mean.

If interested, please PM me.
Thanks,
John

Unless they're niche or otherwise notable I'd guess that the value(skis) < value(HHs).

If the ducks/soles are good those boots should easily be rehomed. With the advanced development of AT gear for the mountain-heads and NTN for the tele-heads I think "traditional" (i.e. pre 2010) template freeheel gear has been relegated to the "toys for the fit and the hardcore".

Fitness drove me back to fixed-heel in '20. I still have my G3 fat-ish/HHs and now 20yo T1s if I trade the bar stool and the airliner seat for a more healthy lifestyle. To me, tele is like golf - getting it right brings you back regardless of the "suck" between good moments.

And, yes - I miss Mitch's web-forum too...

With my hip, the best I can do is telecommute ski

Good luck with generous offer.
