It has been called the "worlds oldest sports" the most rythmic and flowing way to descend a snow covered mountain and Im pretty sure thats true as well. One thing I dont know with absolute certainty Tele Skiing is all about the stoke, the sensation, the feeling of excited, exhilaration that comes from getting into the groove of the tele turn.

Well, Telemark is not called the "oldest SPORT of all", but it's been called the "oldest form of skiing", and it's true.
Atleast when it comes for skiing down mountains.
 
Telemark skiing has it's roots in the Nordic form of skiing, where bindings originally were attached to the tip of the skiers boots, but not at the heel. This is the same as it is with cross country skiing.
 
Both cross country and Telemark skiing was invented in Norway. The latter was made popular by Norwegian Sondre Nordheim in the late 1860's, who was from the county of Telemark.
