  • A Gift to Telemark

    This is more than just a podcast. It’s helping to chronicle the history of the turn. It is very evident that Josh pours his heart and soul into each and every episode. His passion for telemark, the guests he has on, Josh and Tay’s knowledge of the gear, and their overall stoke and respect for the sport make this a must-listen podcast for anyone who loves telemark or skiing in general.
