We are not sure which direction our season will head this year and we need all the advice we can get, so we travel to Salt Lake City, Utah to catch up with Taylor Johnson (a.k.a Tele Tay) to hear what it was like skiing during a Pandemic. Taylor is the store manager at the Freeheel Life, is a regular on Josh Madsen's Podcast show of the same name, and loves freeing his heels (and doing it well) at Alta ski resort. He also hosts the Lowdown, a series created by the Freeheel Life to share news and information about all the latest telemark equipment available.
Taylor provides us with some fantastic insight on their bumper season and what snow-loving fans did to make it feel somewhat 'normal' in a world where rules change quicker than Miranda Kerr at a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. We also talk about some gear choices, the Smelly Kneepad, and the parallels between Telemark skiing and golf. We expect that you will enjoy listening to this chat as much as we enjoyed recording it, and hopefully, our season will unfold much like theirs where everyone did what they could to allow the resorts to stay open and keep the industry alive.
