Last year Telemark received $1500 towards our Track Attack Program and the year before that $2800 towards .

As a part of  their support for XC skiing Kal Tire is offering and exclusive coupon for a $100 discount on a set of new winter tires or all-weather tires. 

This year to add some fun, the 5 clubs that redeem the most coupons at their local Kal shop(s) (on a per-member basis) will win $1500, $1000, $750, $500, and $250.  In addition, Kal Tire will provide a free set of tires to the top club, valued up to $2,000!

The coupon is valid until September 30th.  Don’t wait until the last minute!

We are looking forward to seeing you this coming winter!

The Mount Law fire which started on the afternoon of Aug 15th near the visitor centre on the Coquihalla Connector came close to Telemark just to the South and East  of  the Panorama ski trail. The fire threatened a good portion of the Glenrosa neighborhood and many homes were under evacuation order.

Thanks to more favorable weather conditions and the hard work of BC Wildfire crews and local fire departments the fire is mainly under control now and no longer a threat to Telemark or most others in the area. Thanks to all the amazing workers who helped keep the fire under control.   It sounds like some people in the area below Telemark on the roads off of Glenrosa Rd have had some fire damage to their homes. Our sympathies go out to our Glenrosa neighbors who lost property.

If you come up to Telemark for a hike, bike ride or horseback ride this summer please remember the high fire hazard and be extra careful.
