Telemark skiing is a turning technique in which the skier's heel is kept off the ski, allowing for a greater knee bend during turns. In this method, there is a continuous, fluid movement where one knee is bent and lowered to the snow, while the other leg remains straight. Due to its high stability and strong push against backward movements, it allows skiers to make wide, natural turns on downhill slopes and flat terrain. Telemark skiing demands a high level of balance and stability, as the skier must control the free heel while maintaining a balanced rhythm and smooth, unforced travel during the turns.
