How to Buy Telemark Skiing Accessories
- 1). Buy a pair of kneepads to protect those dropped knees from stray stones (do this once and you'll understand). A pair that fits under ski pants provides the most maneuverability.
- 2). Select a clothing system to use as you would for Alpine skiing or other winter activities. This includes a waterproof outer layer, warm middle layer, polypropelene underwear, socks, gloves and a hat.
- 3). Consider buying gaiters to attach from your boots to below your knees. These will keep snow out of your boots.
- 4). Get a pair of sunglasses or goggles to protect your eyes from sun, wind and snow.
- 5). Keep yourself hydrated with a backpack hydration system. Many companies make special hydration systems to fit under a coat while skiing.
- 6). Buy some skins to climb uphill if you are planning on going off-piste.
- 7). Buy a pair of ski-retaining straps to prevent runaway skis at resorts.
