This wiki is a descendant of the TelemarkTips.com discussion forum, from where much of the information presented here has been mined. Often, discussion forums are not the best presentation of information due to the linear discussion format. As a result, the same questions are asked ad nauseum, with increasingly fervent "Search, JONG!" replies. One such example of this is the extreme volume of discussion about the new Rottefella telemark binding.

The excitement and mystery surrounding the telemark ski industry's most significant effort in recent years to advance telemark equipment, New Telemark Norm (NTN) has produced literally hundreds of pages and thousands of words in forums. While the discussion is enlightening and often entertaining, the shear volume of topics on the subject, and the tendency for those topics to devolve into philosophical arguments, make it difficult to find conclusive answers to many simple questions.

While this site has initially been started to compile NTN information, it should become a general resource for telemark equipment both NTN and 75mm, as well as mounting tips and data about specific skis.
