The winter of 2007-2008 is coming soon.  Early snows are about to arrive here in the Northwest in late September. 

Keep track of your days that you have skied this coming season so you can participate in the new Telemark Injury Study.  So many changes in equipment and bindings that an updated study is needed.  Check back in December of  2007 but you shouldn't enter data until after the season is over for you or in July 08 (which ever comes first).

Feel free to submit new photos for our photo section to show off your turns and your artistry there.  Tele videos are available on the backcountry skiing website-  Dr. Telemark's Backcountry and Telemark Skiing Site.
