Young telemark ski prodigy …
Zoë Taylor’s house in Ansley Park is filled with boxes, ready for her annual trek west to Colorado. Any former hesitation the Taylors had about their daughter transplanting her life each winter to train with the nation’s best telemark skiers are long gone, as quickly as she blazes through a course, crouching, lifting her heels and making the signature “tele” turns with expert dexterity.
Taylor left Saturday for her other home in Steamboat Springs, Colo., where she attends high school like any typical 16-year-old, but also trains and competes as the youngest member of the U.S. Telemark Ski Association’s “A” Team.
This season alone, her squad will travel to Austria, Slovenia and Spain, among other places for competitions.
Always on the move, this young star on skis.
Telemark skiing differs significantly from alpine skiing in equipment and approach. The boots are softer and allow for greater mobility, and the bindings are different, securing the toes while allowing the heel to move up and down. To make the “tele” turn takes balance and lower body strength.
