Every day, Thousands of heels get locked into alpine bindings across the world. They are trapped for hours at a time, only to be released during boot packs and après sessions. That's why we at Bishop have created the "Free the Heel" Beanie. For less than the cost of a 30 rack of PBR, you can purchase this beanie and support our cause. 100% of proceeds of this headwear goes towards Freeing heels everywhere. Please, Think of the Heels.

The Bishop Chedi ski is a loyal, hard charging, fun loving all-mountain, quiver-of-one for the Rocky Mountains (and beyond). Designed by tele skiers for tele skiers. This daily driver has an early rise tip, camber underfoot, and a flat tail with "release rocker". We think it is the perfect balance of powder float, stability at speed, and playful performance.
The engineering team here at Bishop partnered with experienced ski designers and builders to combine the best elements of modern ski shape and construction, with our BMF bindings and the freeheel skier in mind: reinforced under foot for tele binding mount, stiffer, flat-ish tail, camber underfoot, and a mid stiff shovel. The early rise tip is not too far back to keep the ski stable at speed and through crud, but there is enough there to float you and prevent the tele tumble in powder. Perfect match for our BMF bindings with a 100mm brake. It will also rip for fixed heel skiers if you don't bend the knee to freeheel... yet.
The Chedi ski is named after Dave's family Bernese mountain dog Chedi. There is a long history behind products named for beloved pets at Bishop. The original Bishop telemark binding designed by Fin Doyle in 2001 was named after his dog, Bishop. Chedi passed away last November from cancer at age 9. She was a loyal friend, loved all things winter, and came on many backcountry adventures with us. Her spirit lives on in this loyal, daily driver, fun loving, all mountain ski.

Last February, the Bishop Team headed to Monarch Pass, Colorado to spend three days in waist deep fluff. The trip was planned around Monarch Mountain's "Tele-Festivus", a freeheel get-together brought to us by Mountain Chalet, an outdoor retailer in the Colorado Springs area. We're not here to tell you a story about twelve of the best knee droppers coming together from all over the world, staying in beautiful log home at the base of the pass, hopping on a snowcat, touring the backcountry, building booters, overcoming our differences in what a "telemark turn" really is, and all becoming great friends... That did happen, but we'll let the photos share the story. All photos credit to Bjorn Bauer Photography Taylor...
Tune In, Turn On, Drop Knees—or—"Yes, Virginia, Active Bindings Do Ski Better."By Douglas Mock Getting the fit of a new pair of tele boots dialed is a process predicated on patience. Sure, you can just pull your new, Italian plastic fantastics out of the box; shove your feet in; and start breaking trail, but by the time you get back to the truck your fave ski socks are gonna be chock full of lost toenails, layers of pulverized dermis, and buckets of whatever that gross, sticky fluid that fills up blisters is called. If you've any respect for the magical work your feet do while you're skiing (or any hope of lasting more than a few hours on...
