“For Telemark to earn seven medals on the national stage is significant. The best part is that these
medals were earned by four different Telemark skiers,” said Adam Elliot, Race Team Telemark Head
Coach. “The team’s results from Nationals are the culmination of years of hard work, devoted volunteer
coaches and a cohesive team spirit that paid off at the first National Championship in three years.”
The Mission of the Telemark Competitive 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
