The New Season is Almost Upon Us

Posted by

December has arrived and there is a dusting of snow on the peaks in the valley.  I can almost feel the excitement and anticipation.  My skis are in the garage, storage wax scrapped off.  Mike says “conditions permitting, we are ready for a December 15 opening.  We just need one more good snow dump”.   JP Squire wrote a nice article in the Capital News — if you missed it, click here for the article.

According to Deren, “if the snow cooperates, jackrabbits, bunnyrabbits, and adventurers programs will start on December 15.  We sent an information sheet out to all those registered.  If you did not receive, please drop a note to our program coordinator Michelle.

Futher, Deren says “the jackrabbit program is waitlisted, but I will ensure your child gets a spot if you volunteer to help us run the program. You can look forward to 2 hours of fun in the snow with your child and their friends every Saturday morning. You don’t even have to put on skis.”  There are still a few openings in bunnyrabbits.

Today (Saturday, Dec 1) is the last day to purchase your season pass and have it count towards Telemark’s quest for bragging rights in the 2018 CCBC membership contest.  You will also be entered in Telemark’s  6th and final Prize Pac draw for club members.  Thank you to all the new-and-returning members who helped put Telemark in a dead heat vs Sovereign Lake and Caledonia clubs.  Go Telemark!

Hoping to see you on the snow in 2 weeks

Kids Programs Filling Quickly

Posted by

Heads up, parents who love to ski or parents of kids who love to ski.  As of today, our bunny rabbit (4 and under) and jack rabbit (5-12) programs are over half full.  These are tremendously popular programs and they tend to fill up quickly this time of year.  If you want to ensure you have a spot for your child, register soon.

Even better, register your child and then take the coaching course on November 30 so you can integrate right into the action!  This is a national coaching certification workshop lead by seasoned professional skiers / trainers.  We are hosting the course at Telemark this year, and the club will reimburse your fees if you have a child in any of our programs!

Questions?  Lots of details here or contact Deren Sentesy for more information.

Club Social and Work Party

Posted by

Come join the fun on Saturday, October 27 for a couple hours to help get the club ready for snow action.  We are having a work party from 9:00 AM until noon to do some painting, get rid of the invasive weeds, clean windows, clean up the broken hay bales, split wood, and a bunch of other big and small tasks that must be dealt with before it snows.

We will break at noon for a feast wherein Mike Edwards, our new General Manager, will run the spiffy new BBQ.  The race teams and jack rabbit / bunny rabbit families will be out for the day training and learning and pitching in.  It should be a ton of fun.

The Annual General Meeting will be right after lunch so you should all make a point to join the meeting so you can meet our new and old board of directors and grill the board on what the club is up to!

The club will provide the BBQ items, drinks, and fresh fruit. Please bring a salad or desert if you are inclined.  But most important, bring yourself and your family!

For more information please phone 250-707-5925 or email mike.edwards@telemarknordic.com

We hope to see you there.
