Telemark Ski Series

Introducing the first day in our lineup for the series; the Alberta Telemark Ski Club will be at Lake Louise Ski Area on Sunday, Dec.13th. The series is designed to offer skiers of intermediate to expert abilities the opportunity to meet other freeheelers on hill in a social setting. All participants are  responsible for securing their own lift  tickets, meals, and transportation; dress appropriately! This is not an instructional clinic, although it is a way to enjoy the sport with other freeheelers who love to ski. The main group will be split into at least two groups to allow for skiers of different expertise to ski different terrain.

There is no registration or membership required to join us for the ski series. Simply show up on time and be prepared to ski! Please be aware that even with good snow coverage this is the Rockies and many dangers lurk beneath the surface; rocks, trees, and other assorted dangers cannot be ignored. Helmets and kneepads are certainly recommended, it is still early season with marginal conditions in many areas of the hill. That being said, this season is better than most for the Rocky Mountains and the base is shaping up!

The days assigned are tentatively scheduled, please confirm no later than the day prior with Pete Graham as events are subject to cancellation due to extreme weather conditions, road closures, etc. More days may be added if there is further demand, please read on for a tentative schedule.
