Ty has an amazing ability to do things on Free heel skis that most people can’t even do on regular skis. The best part is when he isn’t skiing he is working hard to keep the Tahoe area safe and taken care of from a environmental standpoint. Weather fighting the forest fires or maintaining trails or recusing lost folks in the woods he is just an all around rad guy.

Telemark skiing is the oldest form of sliding on the snow, but Ty has taken this historic form of skiing to the future. Freeheel skiing for the past 20 years, he has pushed the sport in a direction that appeals to everyone.

Ty has brought his freestyle background to the backcountry in recent years, filming and capturing progressive images that are pushing the boundaries of what is possible on telemark skis. Ty enjoys the amazing beauty of his hometown to the fullest, all seasons of the year.

He graduated from Sierra Nevada College with a degree in Sustainable Studies, and currently works for the Forest Service building and maintaining trail systems, along with environmental restoration projects that help to preserve the clarity of Lake Tahoe. When he is not Telemark skiing he is being a new dad or fighting fires in the sierras. Be sure to follow him @dizzleberry or check him out at tydayberry.com.
