General

Congratulations to our athletes, Gareth Williams and Julia Ransom who are really making an impact beyond our club. Gareth Williams, who is currently the youngest of 8 male athletes on the Cross Country Canada National Ski team, last week was the top U23 skier at Canadian WJT, automatically qualifying him for the World Junior/U23 Ski Championships in Switzerland.

Julia Ransom is likewise proving she belongs on the Canadian National Biathlon Team having already achieved two top-10 finishes this season racing in Europe on the World Cup circuit. She is currently the top ranked Canadian biathlete and — BREAKING NEWS — has just been selected to the Canadian Olympics team for the Big Show in South Korea next month.

On Sunday February 25, 2018 Telemark will be hosting our first snowshoe race. There will be three courses; 2 kilometer, 4 kilometer and 8 kilometer. This fun / family oriented event will start at the lodge. There will be food and prizes for participants and volunteers afterwards. So grab your snowshoes for some low impact exercise. More information about the fun race, as well as how to register, will follow in the next few days. See you there!

The 32nd Kelowna Apple Loppet is this Sunday. Any food items you can bringing for the race athletes will be accepted. Please drop it off at the lodge. All snowshoe trails are open, and skiing will be limited until Noon, on race day.
