"That's why you only see them at resorts anymore. They don't go into the backcountry because there's no audience."

Classic.

Nice job, d-shorb. Ive made a few of those, and it takes a bit of time. Here's my favorite (not made by me), it's tele vs. AT. His characters are a bit unusual, but the dialogue is hilarious.

"Post general questions and discuss issues related to climbing." Don't see how that it related. More like the old PnP.

Randonee is french for "can't tele."
Telemark is Norwegian for "slow hippie."

Two articles:

http://www.telemarktips.com/AlpTouring1.html
http://www.descender.com/content02/hatetelemark.html

And... my all time favorite Tele vs. AT video: "The Dark Side: Or how I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Fixed Heel."

"Breakable crust...it's just not meant for telemark. That stuff will make Donald Rumsfeld cry."

Alpine Touring and Telemark aren't "related to climbing?" How do you figure?

Because we have already established beyond any debate at all that if you do it in anything other than bare feet and use any form of motorized transport for the approach from home, it isn't climbing. :wink:

"Have you been scolded or ostracized from the knee dropping bastards?"

Funniest damn video I've seen in a long time! Second, of course, to The Dark Side.
