The Freeheel Life Podcast Josh Madsen

Paul Flück started Telemark skiing back in 1989 and has been involved with everything from retail, to event management, marketing, and more. During the 2014-15 season he came up with a way to rent out the entire ski area of Schilthorn Piz-Gloria and create an on-hill experience called Telemark Only, where only Telemark skiers are allowed on the mountain for a private weekend event. 500-600 Telemark skiers continue to go to this event each year now and it’s THE spot to go in early May to wrap up the Telemark season worldwide.
We at Freeheel Life are super excited to partner up with Telemark Only.  I think you’ll enjoy this conversation that sheds light on this incredible event.

Jakob Schiller is from New Mexico where he grew up and went to school. As a high schooler, and when the snow was lousy at his local resort, he used to pull out a pair of 210 cm Tua skis mounted with flimsy Voile telemark bindings and then strap on a pair of thrift shop leather telemark boots. This is how he got started in Telemark skiing many years ago.
He’s worked as a journalist for the likes of POWDER magazine, SKI, Outside, WIRE, and more over the years. But it was his recent piece in SKI, titled EVERYONE SHOULD OWN A TELEMARK SETUP, that caught my attention. We had a great conversation of what drives people to Telemark ski, how it looked back when both of us started vs. now, and maybe where it’s heading.

Craig Dostie joins me on the podcast after a day in the Utah backcountry to discuss the new Voile Transit Telemark tech binding. Our conversation goes over the new offering from Voile along with other tech-toe NTN Telemark binding offerings like the InWild Meidjo & 22 Designs LYNX. 
Craig shares some details about the Transit mounting pattern, cable configurations, and what he's liking about the new binding. We also discuss other tech-toe offerings on the market and whether it's likely we'll see other similar bindings in the future from other manufacturers.
