- What? You must be thinking of another video. RotT is a "travel log" video
- of a couple of Eastern Telemarkers' trip out West to ski. I don't remember
- any educaional (sic) parts.
-
- What was interesting though was the contrast in the Easterners' technique
- compared to the Westerners they met. The Easterners did a lot of hopping
- between turns (due to learning to turn in difficult conditions, I assume)
- compared to the smooth transitions of the Western skiers.

- P.S. We rented this from a local outdoor shop. You might try that first.
