The Telemark Nordic Club would like to  welcome back Red Moose Immigration Services as a Club sponsor for their third year.

Nicole and Robert Kleemaier of Red Moose Immigration Services in Kelowna are avid cross-country skiers and  have been long time, active Telemark members.  They wanted to give something back to the Club and have become a dedicated sponsor. You may have seen their banner as the backdrop for the season pass photo this year.  You will definitely see Nicole and Robert around the trails in their distinctive Red Moose outfits.

Red Moose supports foreign nationals in their efforts to get a visitor visa, study permit, work permit or permanent resident permit. They also help employers who want to hire those individuals. If you need these kinds of services please think of Nicole and Robert and Red Moose Immigration Services.

To the valued members, guests and volunteers of the Telemark Community: On behalf of the Board and Staff of  the Telemark Nordic Club, I would like to wish you all a safe, healthy, and joyous holiday season, and New Year.  With over 50 km of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails, Telemark offers a healthy way to stay active while maintaining a “social-distance.”  Enjoy Telemark this Holiday season with your friends and family!  Sincerely Brent Hobbs, President 

     

The season is well underway and  skiing and snowshoeing at Telemark are fantastic.  We will be open everyday through the entire Christmas season including Christmas day.  Check out the full Christmas Schedule

Thanks Mother Nature for all the beautiful cold, fluffy snow over the last few days!  Telemark now has enough snow to bring out our big snowcat grooming machine and we are OPEN for the season.  Come check out the trails and see some of the new additions at Telemark this year like our new parking lot, Solar power system and renovated rental room.

If you are a season passholder please come and pick up your season pass on your first ski or snowshoe and remember to bring your pass every time you come skiing.

Day users please remember you can purchase your day passes or rentals on Shopify to help  make things easy more COVID friendly. You can still come into the day lodge though.

Please be aware that COVID protocols are in place.  We will have limited numbers of people allowed in our buildings for a short time to pick up passes or rentals or a snack/drink… but…people are not allowed to stay in the day lodge to eat lunch, change clothes or socialize. Vaccination Passports are NOT required

Welcome to the 2021-22 Season?

 

 

 

While Telemark does have some snow now and we have been preparing the trails we DO NOT currently have enough snow to groom properly and open the trails safely for public skiing.  We have about an 8-10cm base but we need a minimum of a 20cm base to groom properly and safely.  It looks like  we will get a few small snowfalls over the next week and we hope to be open by Dec 20. 

In the mean time the Telemark day lodge will be open 9am to 5pm and staffed starting Monday Dec 13th.  So you can come up to pick up your season  pass, drop off some skis for  pre-season waxing, check out our new parking lot, go for a walk on the K9 trails and have a hot chocolate.
