I have some pretty fat telemark skis (Dimensions: 124/88/111) and can handle them well on green and blues (last season was first time skiing) with big resort boots (4 strap). I was hoping to buy my own boots now for next season and was wondering if it is even possible for a beginner like me to turn those skis with a light pair of leathers (saw the telemark version of http://www.orsdirect.com/sale-womens-kar...
Will leather boots be okay for beginning telemark skier?
Buy the best fitting boots you can find. They need to be appropriate for the task and you need to allow for how long you will use this pair. Get a pair that are more advanced than you are by 2 seasons, you'll learn better and progress faster if you intend to keep up with the sport.
Reply:I wouldnt suggest that you use Karhu's with downhill telemarking. These leather boots are more often used for alpine touring and [majorly] cross-country skiing. I would pick up a plastic one; as the technology is much better and more new than in the leather boots.
Hope this Helps.
Reply:i wouldn't. get proper boots, especially if you r a beginner.
