Chris Lewczynski (Mt. Hotham, VIC)

My first experience of skiing was a small artificial dry slope in the UK aged 7 before a family holiday, I immediately loved it. My ski instructing career started in 2007 with a season in Canada. Since then I've had the opportunity work all over the world. I started telemarking to learn a second discipline for my ISIA stamp and since them I've become obsessed. One of my favourite things about telemarking is the community, telemarkers are always up for a chat on the mountain and keen to share some laps.

At Interski, I'm excited to learn about the different telemark styles from around the globe and teaching philosophies that each organisation use. I'm also keen to see how other organisations are working to encourage participation in telemark.
