And now, none other than our venerable leader, has attained notoriety by appearing on the now famous "Cover".
http://www.telemarktips.com/index.htm
We're starting to amass a fairly impressive list list of those TAY posters that have, so far, gained such international prominence as to have appeared there.
Lessee, there's, of course, Charles,
Then, Markharf also graced the cover, I believe, back in July,
Ema got her ski partner on there no more than a week or two ago...
Who are some of the others??

Well, I figured that since everyone else has been appearing there, I'd better try too. Plus, as Ema pointed out, at this time of year if you've got a photo of turns you've got a good chance of having your photo used. Pete did a great job of setting up at just the right spot to get both Baker and me (that was not exactly a spontaneous photo).
I missed it, but didn't one of those slush cup photos make it? And didn't JW appear as well in one of Ron's shots?

That's Right!
JW was on "the Cover",
as well as Randy with the great Slush Cup shot...
I can also recall Paul smith making it,
And MadDog too.
Who else are we missing?

Just got reminded last night at the "K2 quiver crawl" that Robie's been on there twice... once with Nitzy on his tandem tele skis and once b-4 that.
There's a lot of famous folks amongst us.

Ironically, I've been on there twice, despite my limited access to volcanoes:
- July 4 2004 pic on Flett Glacier.
- This past June pic on Mt Hood that Jeff took.
(Actually, I now live only a short bike ride from several volcanoes, but unfortunately they have been significantly eroded over time, plus the last glacier to come through here left behind all sorts of junk that filled in the valley plain below.)

Jason Hummel's Adams Cover shot should definately get him in this hall of fame... don't you agree?

I have taken a few shots over the years that have made the cover of telemarktips (see above), but I believe that this is the first time that I have "graced" the front page. The photo was taken by Tom Kress, who has skied with other TAYers.

I was confused when I first started to post on TAY because I would read stories written by a NickD ,which didn't jive with the NickD that I knew through Telemarktips.com. So to eliminate the confusion, "my" NickD became NickBC. I am not sure what my Telemarktips friend, Scotsman, would do if I could get him into the Turns all year world.

I was confused when I first started to post on TAY because I would read stories written by a NickD ,which didn't jive with the NickD that I knew through Telemarktips.com. So to eliminate the confusion, "my" NickD became NickBC. I am not sure what my Telemarktips friend, Scotsman, would do if I could get him into the Turns all year world.
I also used to post on TTips but was banned as could not come up with a sufficiently goofy nickname.
Yes maybe we need Scotsman's guidance on all this.

I see that we have another TAYer combo on the cover of Telemarktips. Congrats Joe and Mack.

Now no one can talk smack to Telemack! The ONLY way that picture could have been better if Mack was airborne out over the lake!

Thanks gang, nothing like a little affirmative action for us freeheelers.
telemark (noun). Norwegian for, "Hey man, wait for me!"

Q. How many telemarkers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A. Four. One to screw in the bulb and three to shout "Nice Turn!"

Thanks for passing along the pic to TTips Don. A cover shot and no beef with Mike Scherer; a perfect arrangement. (Even though neither Mack or I post there. Maybe Mike Scherer posts there?)
Oi -- I swear I'm not getting any money from Mike Scherer. Learning all that's involved with maintaining the site and updating the front page picture hasn't been learned yet. Coming soon!

Sorry Marcus, I couldn't resist.
I suppose that the telemark jab
Pow!
and the front page reference
Bang!
was a bit much.

Heh -- the best part is that, as far as I can tell, it's all telemarkers making fun of themselves here. We're making it a little too easy for our AT companions.

A. It doesn't matter how many if they are all turning the wrong way. Thanks for passing along the pic to TTips Don. A cover shot and no beef with Mike Scherer; a perfect arrangement. (Even though neither Mack or I post there. Maybe Mike Scherer posts there?) It is a shame that they cropped it the way that they did. I composed it just the way that I intended for it to be seen! My art! My art has been bastardized! Oh well. Back to psuedotography. |

I love the shadow-marker chasing Mack in the snow. It gives us a glimpse of his dark side.

Well done, Ed! and great pictures, too, Hol. Too bad we have to see your face Ed - only meaning a full on snow face shot would have been good

But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll gitcha when you get your picture

He deserves a bit of extra reward for tele-ing down the frozen upper mountain.
Great work again Mack!

I may be funny looking, but my turns are often tele-genic.

I can't tell if you're tele or parallel, not that there's anything wrong with that.
