Telemark televizija program

He shrugs his shoulders. And there I sit, wondering what in the actual hell tele-ers are still doing on those prehistoric bindings and boots. Now, I understand that eons ago, when we skiers had to scare away brontosauruses from clomping down all the untracked powder, telemark skiing solved the mobility problem—in terms of ease of use and weight—of the backcountry-traveling wiggler.

But then, around when we invented fire, the wheel, and smiling, AT bindings, boots, and skis surpassed any telemark claim on efficiency in the mountains. When given the choice between a calculator and a slide ruler, no one refuses them and pulls an abacus out of their backpack.

Tele-ing is the Microsoft Outlook of the skiing world. Sure, it kinda gets the job done but it should come with a wheelbarrows-worth of extra strength ibuprofen for all the frustration and pain it causes.

It should be noted that I have never tele-ed, which may cause you to think that my confused response to the genuflected turn holds no sand. My friend Hannah—an adult wearer of Crocs, which may seem unrelated but is not—comes from the knee-bending stronghold of Durango, Colorado, and has tele-ed for nearly 30 years. This season, she became the last member of her formerly tele-ing family to finally buy a modern AT setup. Hannah has only skied a little more than two hours with her heals locked down.

Quite simply, the Norwegian landscape exerts a peculiar fascination on the viewer. Stunningly beautiful, unusual to many, and uncorrupted by narrators, hosts, or commentators, it dominates as the producers intended, with the show bringing viewers closer to the wonders of the area and the lifestyles of those who inhabit it. Broken by spells of silence in which waves, gulls, boat motors, and wind dominate, the songs simply bring a little touch of contemporary Norwegian atmosphere to long stretches of waterway and shoreline.

Overall, NRK has demonstrated exceptional photographic and technological prowess in its work. Of course, both Hurtigruten and the Telemark travel association revel in the free publicity of these productions and hope they entice visitors. I suspect they need not fear a digital replacement.

Ultimately, the virtual journey only makes the viewer want to go more than ever. I would not be surprised to learn than many travel plans for distant vacations undergo adaptation after the langsom TV experience. But check it out for yourself and get back to me on that. After all, for U. I have a fondness for enthusiasts, and I strongly recommend this one.
