TELEMARK SKIS DESIGNED BY TELEMARK SKIERS Thoughtfully designed by telemark skiers, our telemark skis are handmade in Denver, Colorado by skiers, for skiers. Meier is proud to produce this noteworthy ski shape for our tele turning and free heel skiing crowd. SKI DETAILS The Norheim, whose name pays homeage to the founder of telemark and modern skiing, has all mountain flex pattern to optimize tele turns of all types. From high speeds to quick turns in the bumps, our all-wood core has no chatter at speed and a lively bounce to spring from turn to turn. At Meier, we're thoughtful about the different kind of skiers we serve and we are confident we’ve built something exceptional for the telemark skiers that have become fans of Meier Skis over the years. Base and sidewall color on ski may vary. Asymmetrical Sidecut A shape developed specifically for the unique telemark turn. The asymmetrical sidecut allows the inside ski edges to turn more easily than the outside ski edge. This creates a tighter turning radius on the inside edges for an easier tele turn, regardless of your turn shape and style. Telemark Ski Profile The Norheim telemark ski features early tip rise for effortless turn initiation with the float you want underfoot for deeper days. With a camber profile, the Norheim tele ski has energy with a flat tail for greater snow contact at the end of the turn. Innovative Tip Shape Never worry about your tips hitting during turns! This special tip shape has been designed to effortlessly slide the ski tips by each other no matter what type of tele turns you make. Binding Retention The Norheim telemark ski features a hard maple wood core where bindings are mounted to reduce any chance of binding pull out. Hard maple has a tight wood grain which grabs and holds on to screws used for mounting bindings. We're so confident in our premium (made by us!) wood core that this ski carries our industry-leading 3-year warranty*. *warranty valid for modern 6 hole telemark bindings that are still in production. Touring Optimization Free-heel for the backcountry win. Our tip and tail shapes have been designed to securely hold skin clips for those adventurous tele skiers that enjoy touring. The asymmetrical flair also streamlines during touring for increased endurance in a more natural uphill stance. Warranty All of our skis are handmade in Denver, CO at the Meier Craft Skiery and are backed by a 3-year warranty for modern 6 hole telemark bindings that are currently in production. Old telemark bindings with fewer holes negate the warranty.Meier recommends 22 designs telemark bindings DESIGN & TOPSHEET INSPO Sondre Norheim Widely credited as the father of telemark skiing, what Sondre Norheim started in 1868 continues to have a passionate following over 150 years later.
