The Discoverer<br />
For Conny Zamernik from St. Anton, telemarking<br />
is more than just the most beautiful minor matter<br />
in the world. More than just skiing, more than just<br />
a short kick or a transient powder snow rush. For<br />
the Tyrolean, her telemark skis are a tool with which<br />
she explores the world and which helps her to understand<br />
it. Together with her partner Jacob Slot,<br />
with whom she runs a small lodge in St. Anton am<br />
Arlberg, she has climbed glaciers in Colombia. In<br />
Afghanistan she was impressed by warlords as she<br />
wandered through the mountains of the Hindukush,<br />
carrying a huge backpack. In Greenland, her ski<br />
tracks were drawn from peaks on which there had<br />
never been a man with two boards before. But Conny<br />
feels magically attracted to Patagonia again and<br />
again. „On the Patagonian Ice Sheet I have the feeling<br />
that I am going into something. Like in a fairy<br />
tale: through a magic mirror into a hidden world.“<br />
