The Telemark Nordic Club encompasses just under 3000 acres (1364 hectares) located in mixed forest, there are 115km of trails and is surrounded by crown land. The diverse geography with streams, wetlands, forests and grassland is a sanctuary for many animal species. It is common to see animals on our trails. Click here to see a list of species on our property.
Most common is the moose. A moose is generally docile. If you are lucky enough to see one, give it a wide berth, and enjoy the view. If carnivores are seen on the property the location and time is posted on our trail board at the entrance to the trails, and on our website. Such sightings are infrequent.

Night skiing has begun. Our light will be turned on so you can ski 3.5 km of lit trails, or with a headlamp. The lights are on until 9PM Tuesday until Thursday. Night passes and rentals are available for skate and classic skiing, and the chalet is open.
In the last 48 hours Santa gave the club a big present. Lots of snow. We are calling out the heavy artillery to groom, and the skiing should be great this week. Snowshoe trails are covered in powder. Telemark is open from 9-4 PM, until further notice. We are open 9-2 PM on Christmas Eve, and closed for Christmas December 25th. Open again on Boxing Day for the season. Merry Christmas everyone!
