We really go to the competitions for fun, but since he competed in the Telemark Nationals last year they put him in the elite juniors class. He doesn't have a coach or train, and he still came in 5th on the first night on the grand slalom course. The next day they do a Sprint Classic which is a grand slalom course with a jump in the middle then at the bottom they have to go through a Reipeløkke which is a 360 degree turn and then a cross country skate course to the finish. He did great. He wants to join the Summit County team next year.

I promise next ski trip Colorado (although my cousin is talking about buying some land in Mont Tremblant and building a ski chalet there, so that may have to be a long term option lol!)
Originally Posted By sherrytodd If he joins the Summit Team he would have a coach. Plus he's at a point that he just doesn't want to listen to mom and dad anymore so it would be nice to have someone else work with him and teach him. Less pulling my hair out.
Originally Posted By smedley Ahh the joys huh? lol DH has the same problem with me if that helps Here's hoping he does well with the Summit team then.. How much telemark competition is there out there? We don't see a great deal (read any) on UK tv.

Originally Posted By smedley Ahh excellent, oh and no comment on the damsel's trunk lol! I have to admit I do enjoy having the flexibility of days off during the week.. It's pretty quiet in here tonight, darn me for giving knight a new series to watch instead of chatting to me
