Updated Saturday Dec 27th.

We have been receiving little bits of snow over the last few days so that conditions are slowly but surely improving and we are able to open for the season. Yaay!!

While the snow coverage is good, please keep in mind that we still have “Early Season” conditions. This means that there may be uneven surfaces and other hazards – there will not be a track-set everywhere and not all trails are open…but…all things considered the skiing is quite good and we welcome you to come up for ski.

Snowshoeing will also be open but the snowpack is thin and there may be bare/thin spots in the thick trees.

On Sunday December 28 starting at 11am please join us by the outdoor fire pit for free s’mores and hot chocolate to enjoy and celebrate the start of the season.

We are offering all xc ski and snowshoe day passes at a 50% discount to start the season until conditions improve.

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 long time dedicated sponsor. You may have seen their banner as the backdrop for the season pass photo 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.

It’s never too early to start ticking those tricky gifts off the list for the holiday season! We’ll make it easy for you with Purdy’s delicious chocolates. Purdy’s has something for everyone!

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. It’s shaping up to be a La Nina year which means another beautiful, cool and snowy winter.

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, Overlander 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.
