Telemark Ski Course

Bushwhacker Skiing!

As soon as the snow starts flying, Bushwhackers will be heading for the slopes. There will be lots of opportunities to carpool and ski together. Keep an eye out for announcements over the list serve, or send out your own invitation to ski with fellow Bushwhackers!

Are you a tele-skier who's looking to get past that intermediate hump? Maybe you're an alpiner or snowboarder who'd like to see why those tele skiers are always having such a good time! If so, we have a telemark ski clinic that's tailored to you.

The Bushwhacker Climbing Club offers its Telemark Ski clinic in a total of three sessions; one evening gear clinic, and two full days of instruction at the lifts. Instruction is divided into two groups.

  • New to Tele -- For those who have at least a little skiing or riding experience and are ready to free the heel!
  • Advanced/Intermediate -- For telemark skiers looking to transition into tougher terrain and steeps.

Student-to-teacher ratio is usually about 3 or 4 to 1 and each instructor is an experienced skier with a passion for teaching. The lesson plan will vary according to the needs of the students

Meet new friends who love the mountains, or come out and learn to ski with old buddies. If the carve and glide of telemark skiing is appealing to you, learn how to free the heel in style with the Bushwhackers this January!

Cost of the Course

Cost is $35; plus two $57 lift tickets and gear rental if required. You must also be a member of the club, but joining is easy.

Status of the Course

This course will not be offered in 2012.
