TEAM TELEMARK AT THE HAIG GLACIER

July 29, 2019 Posted by Staff

Seven Team Telemark Nordic athletes took part in the BC Ski Team’s glacier skiing camp at the Haig Glacier in Alberta.

Athletes left for Canmore on July 20th to take part in 3 days of roller skiing at the Canmore Nordic Centre (the site of the Nordic events at the 1988 Olympics). Four of the older athletes also took part in roller ski testing on a special treadmill to help determine ski specific training zones to ensure that their training is on track for a successful season.

The athletes ran and hiked the grueling 18km up to the Beckie Scott High Performance Centre at the Haig Glacier, while their gear and skis were helicoptered up.

The athletes rose early to ski daily as the best skiing conditions happen before it warms up. The afternoons were spent hiking and exploring the nearby mountain peaks, doing core strength training, meeting with coaches, napping and, for the very brave, ice water immersion baths in the numerous glacial fed creeks.

Being able to get on snow on the glacier is a huge benefit to the athletes, allowing them to refine ski technique, build a large training volume and get the benefits of training at a high altitude.

Once back from the glacier the athletes will resume training in Kelowna with the rest of Team Telemark under the guidance of head coach Adam Elliot.

Telemark Nordic Centre Race Courses Certified to Top Competition Standards

January 25, 2019 Posted by Staff

Telemark Nordic Club has successfully completed a year-long project to upgrade the club’s cross-country ski race courses and has been awarded Federation International de Ski (FIS) certification. The new certification will begin paying off February 8-10, 2019 when we host the Western Canadian Championships. We anticipate welcoming over 500 of the most competitive cross-country skiers along with their coaches and support teams from across Canada and western United States. Mike Norton, FIS Homologation Inspector for Cross Country Canada, was impressed with the new race courses at Telemark, adding “The 5.0 km race course is one of the best and most challenging courses in the country.” James Williams and Tim Mayer, long-time Telemark Club members and Masters racers themselves, are responsible for most of the work on the project. According to James, “We are really pleased with how everything turned out. The athletes are going to love these courses. It is not just about racing, though. Our day-to-day recreational skiers also benefit from the course upgrades.”
