Kal Tire is once again stepping up to sponsor cross-country skiing youth programs across BC.  In the past several years, Kal Tire has generously supported our sport by funding ski playgrounds, adventure trails, roller skis, coaching development, program equipment, video contests, and more. The last few years Telemark alone has received funding of more than $10,000 towards our programs and facilities through Kal Tire.

As a part of  their support for XC skiing Kal Tire is offering an exclusive coupon for a $100 discount on a set of any Nokian tires including the flagship Hakkapeliitta winter tire. Did you know that Nokian actually invented the winter tire? And is the only tire manufacturer in the world with its own permanent winter tire testing facility?  And that Nokian is from Finland, one of the world’s great cross country ski nations?  And that Kal Tire is the exclusive retailer of Nokian tires in Canada?

To add some fun, the 6 clubs that redeem the most coupons at their local Kal Tire shop(s) (on a per-member basis) will win $2000, $1500, $1000, $700, $500, and $300.

So save some money on new tires and also help grassroots xc ski programs at Telemark and across BC please head to a Kal Tire near you to get your new tires.

The COUPON is valid only until September 30th, 2025. Don’t wait until the last minute!

It’s the middle of summer but at Telemark we are always thinking about winter! Hopefully you are looking forward to a beautiful, cool, snowy winter as much as we are. What could be better to help you get away from all the craziness of life than to come xc skiing or snowshoeing at Telemark this winter!

Telemark Nordic Season Pass/Membership and Program registrations are now available on our Zone 4 Registration Page. Season Pass Early-Bird discount rates are available until 11:59pm Oct 31, 2025.  For more season pass & pricing info, please go to our Season Pass webpage

Last season was the “perfect season” as we were open from mid December to the end of March with great weather and amazing xc ski and snowshoeing conditions all winter long. So far, indications are that the coming winter will have near normal snowfall and slightly warmer temps early in the season and cooler temps later in the winter. Sounds like a recipe for another incredible season at Telemark!

Season Pass $ prices remain the same as last season. XC skiing and snowshoeing at Telemark are among the least expensive winter activities out there and an incredible value anytime. 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.

New this year – Reciprocal day pass discounts at Kelowna Nordic, Sovereign Lake and Nickel Plate for Telemark Season Pass holders. Just show your Telemark Season Pass to receive 25% off your day pass when you ski or snowshoe at those facilities.
