New sponsor for Club Membership Contest and exciting updates
Salomon is now also supporting the Club Membership Contest, with skis, poles, and a whole lot of swag! Check out the details and full list of sponsors here. Updated standings:
• Group A: Telemark’s momentum continues, having passed Sovereign Lake last week and Caledonia this week, and they’re now in first place. As mentioned last week, Sovereign Lake and Caledonia were the two largest clubs in Canada last year, and they have a friendly wager on who will be the largest this year. But at the rate that Telemark grew last year, might they both lose this wager?

Telemark Ski Swap and General Meeting – Sunday October 29

The Telemark Nordic ski swap and Annual General Meeting are taking place at the Telemark Lodge on Sunday October 29th.
This is an excellent opportunity to buy (or sell) new and used cross country skiing equipment, and this is the last chance to purchase your Telemark 2017/2018 season pass at the early season discount. Coaches from the Telemark Racers will be on hand to assist you with selecting equipment and answering questions about cross country skiing and the race team.
10:00 AM – Drop off used gear for sale (skis, poles, boots, snowshoes, accessories)
11:00 AM – Telemark AGM (downstairs in the lodge)
12:00 PM – Sale Starts – Purchase gear
Several athletes from the ski team will also be in attendance. If your child has been thinking about joining a team or program this is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more.
Bring your appetite – there will be a food concession.
The Lucky Early Bird Winner Is…
The first lucky early bird winner is Alicia Bassett-Smith. She will soon be smiling every time she drives up to Telemark because her car is getting an extreme pamper
