From the Coaches

Hello Ski Fans,

What a great opportunity it has been for the Telemark Skiers to race with BC’s finest skiers! There are many great results over the past two days of race simulations. There have been some significant improvements as well in the last month. We will have more opportunities before the skiers depart Tuesday. Thanks to all of the parents and coaches who contributed to these wonderful events! We are well on our way to meeting our mission goals!

The Mission of the Telemark Race Program is to deliver a good experience for the members while providing a supportive encouraging and progressively structured training environment so that they may achieve their goals of sports excellence

Keep Up the Great Work!

Ski Waxing Fundraiser. If you are an experienced glide waxer we have another opportunity to raise some money. The members drop off their skis for glide waxing at the office. We wax them and collect the fees. Just check in at the office to see if there are any skis that need to be waxed and fill out the sheet when you complete them. Thank You Sean, who has done most of the skis so far this season.
