[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 432943, member: 27328"] Rossignol BCX11 75mm Nordic Norm cross country ski boots are as close to the classic leather Telemark ski boots as you can get. The classic leather 75mm Nordic Norm ski boots are hard to find, heavier, not as warm, and cost more. These take their place rather well and I like the lighter weight and more waterproof construction. Guess what the Nordic Telemark skiers mostly used their ski boots and ski gear for??? That's right.....trapping and hunting. In deep snow, a man on skis that can float on top of the snow is no longer slower and of less endurance than a large animal that must posthole through the snow. Humans in northern climates found this out a long time ago. Also, remember the old Luftwaffe fighter pilot code of attack: Always from above, seldom on the level and never from below. A Telemark skier that has a height advantage can close on his quarry since the quarry has less stored potential energy and less speed on a sustained basis. Skis and hilly terrain equal an advantage for the hunter in snowy conditions. Can you see why Fischer has named one of their new skis suitable for the hunter "silent spider"??? Remember the famous olympic champion skier Bjorn Daeli from Norway? Remember how he swept the men's Nordic sking field a few winter olympics ago? Guess what he if famous for in Norway besides his olympic skiing victories? That's right, he had an outdoor hunting and fishing show where he showed people how to bag and cook all that wild game you could get in the field, and a lot of it from skiing. Of course, a set of classic Telemark ski gear extends the hunting season to spring, and it's in the interest of a some folks who quietly go about their business to hope the rest of you never get into this form of skiing. Forget I told you this. [/QUOTE]
