Telemark skiing allows both downhill (alpine) and cross-country (nordic) skiers to expand their experience and broaden skiing skills. This classical technique was the first method used in the evolution of modern alpine skiing. On groomed slopes, you will learn the fundamentals of telemark turning. Build confidence, control speed, change direction, and challenge yourself to conquer the slopes in a new way. You should be comfortable (advanced - intermediate level) on either downhill or cross-country skis. Enrolled students will receive a call from the instructor prior to class to discuss equipment.
