Telemark Skiing Lessons

 

 

Telemarking is the origin of all slope skiing today. It developed as a technique to descend slopes on free-heeled equipment. Telemarkers today enjoy the unique fluid motion as they float from one turn to the next in backcountry powder or carve the groomers at the resort. It was and still is, a fun and rewarding way to ski.

This progressive series allows you to develop and expand your technique under the guidance of a CANSI certified instructor.
