Birthed from a passion to have fun on skis and to share that passion with others. If you are a Telemark or A.T. skier then this is the premier event on the west coast to either try skis, learn to ski or race your buns off.
EVENT DATE: Jan. 14th, 2012
EVENT COST: price of a lift ticket
WHAT: Telemark Festival (All Freeheel skiers welcome or even those who want to be) where your inner Viking can come out and play! We will have tons of Demo’s, Tele-Tour Groups (some minor instruction and meeting like minded people).
RACE with not only great prizes but the coveted awards for:
BEST FEMALE SKIER(Rannei Amundsdotter Award)
BEST MALE SKIER(Sondre Norheim Award)

Uphill-Downhill race(Sirdal Slogg Award)
We are adding this year some optional 3 hour lesson’s from the pros as well as some level three clinicians to do women’s specific lesson’s for $25 (which is nothing if you have ever had a lesson before).
We will have music from Norway playing all day and have some fun events for Adults and kids alike to bring you into the Viking spirit. Costumes are highly encouraged but don’t have to follow the theme so come as you are or who you would like to be!
The goal of Telefest is to bring the Telemark community together for a day of fun on the Hill and to introduce the sport of Telemark to those who want to learn more.
Overnight Camping is allowed at Ray Benson Snowpark. Just make sure to have a snowpark permit so you don’t get a ticket.
