Big shoutout to Rob Steinmetz aka Lodgling for becoming the first person to telemark ski all 58 14ers after skiing Capitol Peak yesterday! Dude straight up rips - no heel required. =D>

After watching VeraUndertow and MtnChicken and Sam Lawrence ski off Apache today via Queen’s way then agreeing with Supra that we’d probably die,
I don’t even know what telemark means other than you probably have tree trunk thighs that could crush a small car.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I have no idea what Telemark ski means, but “ski” and “Capitol” earns hero status.

Nice work!
