What to look for if you do you own shopping:

Skis: Skis should be modern twin tipped skis with visible side cut. They should not be narrower than 80 mm under the boot. (The BD Havoc is 88 mm under foot, for example).

Bindings: Bindings should be cable bindings with cartridges rather than springs. They should not have three pins under the toes.

Boots: Boots should be a modern plastic telemark boot with no less than three buckles.

Recommended Boots are:

• Scarpa T1 or T-Race

• Garmont Energy or Synergy

Skins: We do not require climbing skins, but highly encourage students to get them as soon as they can so they can enjoy the backcountry aspects of telemark skiing.
