"If you're transitioning from alpine skiing to telemark skiing, first focus on adjusting your balance to accommodate the different motion you'll need in telemark skiing. The first few weeks will be a little challenging as you try to figure out your center of balance. I used the exercise ball quite a bit—try lateral lunges where you put one foot on top of a ball and your knee in a squat position on a balance disk. Repeat this up and down on each side, as shown above."
