We went to Les Houches today to drop in on the Telemark festival where Jeremy Fournier and his friends are running the Otovalo Telemark festival once more. Great atmosphere, live music, barbecues, free equipment to test — it’s all going on and there were plenty of free-heelers up and enjoying the fun.
No shortage of tele skis to try.…
…but we were straight over to have a go on these beauties, handmade just a few hundred metres from the chalet by Peter at Rabbit on the Roof.
We talked about them with Peter who makes them…
Which to choose?
Fortunately Jeremy was on hand to advise…
…and lent Nick his own to try
Though I don’t have any pictures of the run, they’re a big success.
Really fantastic skis and a great chance to give them a try, so if you’re around tomorrow, go check them out!
