Archives for February 2022

Telemark  will be hosting the Track Attack Championships this coming weekend Feb 26-27.  This is a fun competition event for  kids 9-12yrs old.  There will be about 250 kids at Telemark from across BC for this wonderful event.

Telemark will remain open for public skiing and snowshoeing during this event but it is good to know that it will be quite busy both Saturday and Sunday.  The Stadium area will be filled with the event on both days and parts of Squirrel and lower Fern trails will be closed due to the event on Saturday only.  Parking will be at a premium all weekend but with our expanded parking this year you should be able to find a spot. Best time to ski both days will be late afternoon but we are open all day.

If you come up to Telemark please take some time to watch the next generation of skiers competing and having fun on snow.  To find out more about the event please go to our  event webpage.

 

Come on out to the Telemark Nordic Centre on Family Day for  some family fun in the snow. Despite the warm temps the conditions are holding out with some great skiing and snowshoeing to be had and  the weather is warm and beautiful.

Telemark is offering FREE trail passes and rentals for all kids (18-under) on Monday Feb 21st in celebration of Family day.

We are once again joining the Nordiq Canada Nationwide Club Fundraising Campaign “Ski Local – Support Local”.  This is a fundraiser aimed at raising $500,000 for clubs to help support cross country skiing across Canada.

Our Telemark goal is to raise $10,000 through this campaign.  The $ raised will go towards enhancing our youth programming to make sure we have quality coaching and programming and we are investing in the future of our sport and our community.

Tax Receipt:  Normally Telemark cannot offer tax receipts for donations but with this fundraiser a tax receipt will be given through Nordiq Canada. 94% of all funds raised will come back to Telemark. Take advantage of the tax receipt while you can.

Matching funds: Cross-Country BC is adding a matching funds incentive with $1,000 in matching funds on the first $2,000 raised.  Please donate now to make sure we can fully use the matching funds.

Please click here to go the donation page to find out more and to donate.  The campaign ends March 20th 2022. Please help us to reach our goal.  “Ski Local – Support Local”
