I’ve had this video for several years now. Just this morning, I stumbled across the file and uploaded it to Vimeo for everyone’s viewing pleasure. I got it about 4 years ago from the crew at The Piton, but nobody has officially claimed it so the telemarker-turned-AT skier will continue to live on in anonymity.
Check out his hilarious video as he tells his tale of telemark addiction, faceplants and then his eventual discovery of randonee, alpine touring or AT skiing (however you refer to it).
After all this time, maybe the dude will come out of the tele closet and reveal himself to the world.
A Seattle native, Jason developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continues as he founded
That’s some funny stuff.

@Colin… thanks for unmasking AT Anonymous… It’s almost like unmasking a Mexican Luchador. Nachoooooooooooooo!
A classic!
“That breakable crust stuff, It’ll get you every time. It’s not meant for Telemark, stuff will make Donald Rumsfeld cry.” Truer words have never been spoken. I’m not sure I’m ready to turn my back on my free heel, “brethren” just yet. I’ll just call myself a weekend Tele powder skier, influenced by weekday resort carving Alpine turns. That was 10 minutes of cracking me up funny. Thanks.
It appears that you just sucked at telemarking. Waaaaaaa!
