Everyone likes to play in the snow-but different
customers prefer different gear under their feet. Here's
the guide every retailer needs when it comes to
figuring out who their customer is and what they need.

THE TELEMARK SKIER
WHO THEYARE: Don't believe what
those crowing AT skiers love to
tell you: Telemark skiing is not
dead. Yes, it's a small part of the
market, but it still attracts attention from both the free-heel curious and vets looking to upgrade.
REACH THEM: Doug Stenclik, owner
of Cripple Creek Backcountry
in Carbondale, Colorado, says
he sells twice as many NTN setups as 75-mm bindings these
days-nearly 100 pairs a year.
Developed in 2007 by Rottefella,
the New Telemark Norm (NTN)
binding allows the user to step
into it much like an alpine binding, eliminating the annoying
need to squat down to flip up the
heel piece and then attach a leash
to the boot. Stenclik's message
to staff and telemark customers
is the same: "There will always
be holdouts who love the tele
turn on the traditional 75-mm
boots and bindings, but moving
forward all new innovation will
live with the NTN equipment.
Upgrading your gear now will
allow you better customization
of features like spring tension
and release values, while preparing you for brand-new telemark boots and bindings coming down the pipeline."
HOT SELLERS: Scarpa's TX Pro
($700; scarpa.com) is the Italian
brand's most versatile NTN and
tech-binding-compatible boot.
Binding pioneers 22 Designs
recently released the updated
Outlaw X ($400; twentytwodesigns.com), a powerful, no-hassles, step-in NTN binding.
BEYOND THE BASICS: Tele skiers
love the backcountry so recommend safety upgrades like
Mammut's Barryvox S beacon
($500; us.mammut.com) .
