Telemark skiing is a downhill snowsport. In contrast to alpine skiing, the bindings only fasten the boots at the toe, leaving the heels free, much like cross-country ski bindings.
UnderstandInvented by Sondre Norheim, Telemark was pioneered in Norway and named after the Telemark region where Norheim lived.
