This past weekend Telemark hosted a successful Teck Track Attack Championships.  There were near record numbers of participants and by all accounts it was a great weekend of fun, friendship and, of course, racing.  Thanks to the title sponsor Teck and our contributing sponsors BMO – Nesters Market – Save-On-Foods – Sunrype – Cobbs and our partner accommodation providers Marriot Fairfield & Marriot Town Suites. Thanks also to BC ViaSport for financial $ hosting support. Thanks to everybody who came from all over BC and even Washington State to join the fun.  A special thanks to all the great volunteers who made it all happen. Results and more info on our event webpage.

Telemark is hosting the Teck Track Attack Championships Feb 24-25. This event will see 275 kids ages 9-12yrs from all across BC come to Telemark for a weekend of fun competition.
It takes a lot of volunteers to host an event like this and we could still use a few more. We hope you have some time to volunteer and help make this a successful event. There are many different roles. Please go to our Volunteer sign up page through this link or… use the QR code in the poster.

It will be quite busy at Telemark that weekend but the event does not take up very much space on the trails and we will remain fully open for public/member skiing and snowshoeing that weekend with just some minor disruptions to trails access.

Telemark would like to  welcome back Red Moose Immigration Services as a Club sponsor for their fifth 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 or outside on the fence.  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.

Thank you & good luck!

To the valued members, guests and volunteers of the Telemark Community: The Telemark Nordic Club would like to wish you all a safe, healthy, and joyous holiday season, and New Year.  Enjoy Telemark this Holiday season with your friends and family! 

The skiing and snowshoeing at Telemark are still “Early Season” in this very low snow year but we are open and will remain open everyday through the entire holiday season including Christmas and New Year’s day.  Check out the full holiday Schedule

Starting Dec 16th the Telemark Daylodge will be open daily on modified hours. Please go to our Hours of Operation webpage for details. Everybody is welcome to come up and pick up your season pass, go for a ski or snowshoe and have a hot chocolate.

We have enough snow to ski and snowshoe but conditions are still “Early Season”. All ski trails are groomed but they are not in mid winter condition and there is not a track in many places but, in general, the skiing is safe and quite good on a 10cm packed base. We need to have a 20cm base before we can do regular grooming with our Pisten Bully snowcat. So we will do some snowmobile grooming to improve conditions as needed and until we get more snow. Snowshoeing on all the trails is open and safe but base is thin.
