Tuesday Feb 14th 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Join us for a fun evening at the Telemark Valentines Celebration with live music by CRISPRR.

CRISPRR is a fun, friendly, Kelowna based 4 person live band made up mostly of Telemark Club members.  They play mainly upbeat dance-able cover tunes  with a few originals thrown in. 

Come up to Telemark early for a romantic ski or snowshoe under the glow of our trail lights and then enjoy the music with a “Snow Dance” outside in the Telemark stadium area. The concert is FREE and we  will be offering a special $10 rental & trail pass deal for guests, and of course, free hot chocolate for everybody.  This is a no alcohol family friendly event.

Telemark is excited to announce that we will be building a long awaited warming cabin on our trails.   The new cabin is planned for a spectacular spot overlooking the Okanagan valley 1/2 way along the Panorama Ridge ski and snowshoe trails.  The cabin will provide a challenging yet accessible destination for everybody as well as shelter for those needing a rest while on a longer adventure. 

The cabin will be made to modern building standards complete with covered deck space, heat and solar power.  The total cost is budgeted at over $100,000.  While we have some $ set aside and are making funding applications we need your help to raise the money to build the Panorama Cabin. This is our main Club fundraiser this year and we are hoping to raise $50,000.

We hope you are as excited by the Panorama cabin as we are. Please make a donation through our Canada Helps Fundraising Platform. It is easy to donate and the best part is that you get a tax receipt though our fundraising partnership with Nordiq Canada.

Please give generously to make this dream a reality!

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.
