In this week's episode, we head down into the depths of the gear lab with Andy Crow. Andy has spent a fair amount of time conducting his own research in the nitty gritty of telemark equipment which has helped foster great technical conversations on chair lift rides and we thought our listeners would enjoy hearing what some of those chats sound like. Our 'talking tele' chin wag covers important topics such as Bishop equipment, mounting bindings, ski design, Franken bindings, and dream boots. We also review the Voile Ultra Vector BC, a pattern-based ski we have fallen in love with. A special song for the freeheelers also features at the end of the episode from a very happy human named Angus, so stay tuned for that!
