True, but mid-week "resort telemarking" is a blast. You'll get heaps of runs in, so you should see rapid improvement in technique under good (groomed) conditions.

Don't forget those parallel stops you've mastered from downhill skiing. They are still useful for stopping quickly when you're tired and things turn to custard.

Wilderness Sports in Jindy use to run a Telefest weekend. Don't know if they still do. They were great value for improving your tele technique - and you got to use the lessons queue!
