Turns out he's telemarked quite a bit and had already made a prototype Dynafit tele binding. I'll cover that in a later blog. Eric, I asked Fritz about telemark bindings.

Cows living under the house, little crucafix shrines hidden in the woods, people on skis everywhere. They'll tear your legs off going up the skintrack, then after watching you make 10 good turns, they're brothers for life. Especially cool that you have the Barthels as your hosts. Stop at a hut for lunch if you get a chance, there's nothing like entering a deserted-looking 200 year-old stone structure in the middle of nowhere and finding it jammed with people enjoying Frittatensuppe, Brot and Schnapps.

If you go to any spots that you'd consider "worth making a trip back to", let us know. I'll be in Europe a lot in the next year, and it would be fun to have some beta from someone this side of the pond. Best wishes. Oh, and P.S. See if you can't get Fritz and the gang there to think about a telemark binding design. Since most of their work is now refinement of an already near-perfect design, perhaps they have some time to devote their creativity to something really new. Wouldn't a Dynafit-built tele binding really add some fire to the BD/Rottefella competition? Lou,
