The Snow is here!

Finally, the snow god has blessed the Roaring Fork Valley! We went from having a 15 inch base to a 54" base! Highlands is EPIC! That is all I have to say and here are some pictures of Alex King, Jake Sakson and Nick Malik.

New Promo is Done!!!

My new promo video is done. There is an abscence of park footage due to the copious amounts of snow that we received this year. Why would I ski the park? Anyway, this is filmed at the beginning of the 07-08 ski season, so my skills did grow over the season. Beside from that, it was a great season, and the video can be seen below.
Enjoy and have a great summer,
Luke Lubchenco

Crested Butte Telemark Extremes

Crested Butte is Sick!!!
Competing in the Crested Butte Telemark Extremes was so awesome. I got second and Kjell Ellefson earned first with a 20 ft. drop that he stomped the heck out of. I had some fun and below are some pictures from the first day of competition.




















Another great thing about CB was skiing with Rossignol pro Josh Madsen. He is pushing the sport not only in his skiing but also in his online magazine at freeheellife.com. It is awesome to know that there is somebody out there working day in and day out to help this great sport. Be sure to check out his website.

Introduction

Hello,
I am a 16 year old telemark skier from Glenwood Springs, CO. I attend Colorado Rocky Mountain School (CRMS) in Carbondale. I love to ski of course, but I also am very fond of unicycling, playing the banjo, and fly-fishing. I live with my little sister, Cora, my mom Ruth, and stepdad, Tom. I started telemark skiing three years ago and have proggressed a lot since then. I am really excited t be a part of an ever-changing sport. It is way cool to see telemarkers landing switch in powder and hucking off cliffs like our alpine counterparts, while at the same time, keeping with that level of coolness that telemark skiers will always have. By this I mean the turn! Check out the promo video below (It is only the footage I have right now, but more is on the way!) Catch Ya Later!!!
