Yes there are telemarkers/backcountry skiers out here. I ski the
northern Sierra Nevada around the Lake Tahoe area most of the time. My
favorite time to ski at a downhill resort is on a slow weekday or during
a weekend with heavy snow and light wind (light enough to keep the lifts
from closing). However, most of the time I do day trips in the backcountry.
When I have more than a few days off at a time I like to do overnight trips
but I find them difficult to organize because of schedule conflicts with the
other people in the group. I can even be found in the tracks (ruts?) at a
nordic center when I am introducing a beginner to cross country.

of course there are some telemarkers out here. a group of 5-6 "pinheads" from beehive int. usually goes every weekend. we ski backcountry, resorts, anywhere with snow and have a great time doing it. paul shilton if god had meant man to ski on downhill gear, he wouldn't have needed to give him ankles.
