#164 - Sarah Clemensen | Big Mountain Telemark Legend


Listen Later

Sarah Clemensen is originally from Mendon, UT, a small town in Cache Valley near Logan, UT. She grew up always having cross-country skis around her house and was encouraged by her parents to get out and explore in the snow. Her first experience with making a Telemark turn was in high school, but it wasn't until after she stopped playing collegiate sports & moved back to UT in the mid-90s that she jumped into making drop knee turns full-time.

During the late 1990s she would be exposed to Telemark racing as well as the burgeoning Telemark Freeski scene. After spending a short time on the US National Telemark Race Team, she shifted focus over to Telemark Freeski competitions exclusively with great success. That's where she caught the eye of Josh "Bones" Murphy who asked her to film for his third installment of the Unparalleled Telemark movie series: Unparalleled 3: Soul Slide.

Her career skyrocketed quickly from there, locking down contracts with Nike ACG, Rossignol Telemark, & others. She continued with more podium finishes in the Telemark big mountain competitions as well as landing on the big screen of Warren Miller's 54TH movie, JOURNEY in 2003.

She's one of my great friends in Telemark and an amazing freeheel skier.
