The Tele Mike V-Team Vlog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This VLOG is dedicated to the families that ski together and the heartfelt familial connections that are forged in snow and ice. I always thought that I would be a fantastic father for a daughter to raise in the mountains in addition to my son who is quickly outpacing my ability to keep up with him on the mountain. But alas, a daughter was not in the cards for me. So I did the next best thing which is to be \u201cUncle Tele Mike\u201d to Tianna Terrell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good sistah Tianna is the daughter of my main number one backcountry partner, Karl Terrell. Even in his 60\u2019s, Karl is made up of Terminator parts. With Karl growing up in Colorado, he is not as much of a skier as much as he is a reincarnated Buffalo Soldiers who also hunts, fish, ride horses, drives snowmobiles, dirt bikes, and moves through the backcountry mountains as if it is his childhood neighborhood backyard. Because it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tianna\u2019s mother, Desi, is a ripping skier in her own right, ex-D1 collegiate track star, and president of the Ski Ambassadors chapter of the National Brotherhood of Snowsports. Together Karl and Desi created a beautiful monster of a daughter and world class athlete who was on both the US Junior Olympic ski and Junior Olympic track team. Tianna went on to run track for Western State University in Gunnison, Colorado. All of this has positioned Tianna to be a ferocious alpha female backcountry skiing who is quickly outrunning the backcountry endurance and skill capacity of both her father and Uncle Tele Mike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
