Archives for October 2023

Last call for the Early-Bird Season Pass and Program registration. Register by Tuesday Oct 31, 2023 on our Zone 4 Registration Page.  For more season pass pricing info, please go to our Season Pass webpage

Last season was our longest season ever as we had skiing and snowshoeing from early November to April. All our prices remain unchanged from last year.  An adult season pass is paid off in only 11 visits and you will have the flexibility to come to Telemark whenever you want, for any amount of time. Additionally, with a season pass, you are automatically a Club member and can participate in one of our many programs. There is again a 10% discount on selected items at local xc ski retailer Kelowna Cycle and a 25% discount on rentals at Telemark for all Season Pass holders. There is one more draw in our Early-Bird prize draw – Total draw prize value of over $1,000 (Generously provided by our sponsor partners Fresh Air. Experience and Kelowna Cycle).

Come join the fun on Saturday Oct 28th and help us get ready for winter.  We are hosting a work party from 9:00 AM until noon to…split firewood, paint, do trail maintenance  and accomplish a few other odd jobs before the season starts.

We will break at noon for lunch. The Club will host a free BBQ with burgers, hot dogs, snacks and drinks.  

The Telemark Annual General Meeting will take place right after lunch at 1pm.  The AGM is a great opportunity to meet the Telemark Board of Directors and find out what is going on in the Club.

We hope to see you there.
