What is this?
Title: Open Telemark
Level: Silver (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: Up to ¾ to Left.
Notes
A note on Syllabus Amalgamations
In the ISTD syllabus, the Open Telemark is listed in together with the Feather Ending, 

and in the amalgamation (Passing) Natural Turn, Outside Swivel, and Feather Ending. 
In addition to these, the IDTA syllabus lists it in conjuction with the Weave from PP. 
This makes the Open Telemark appear to be restricted to these exit figures. In reality, 
any Promenade Figure may follow the Open Telemark. Since our aim is to break each 
amalgamation into its smallest usable parts, we have listed the Open Telemark individually.

Video Example 1
Notes
-9A shows the Open Telemark with a Feather Ending.
-9B shows the Open Telemark with Passing Natural Turn, 
       Outside Swivel and Feather Ending.
