The Telebration telemark ski weekend is back this year at 49 Degrees North March 15-16 with telemark gear rentals, demos, group and private lessons. Enjoy a community gathering with other free-heel skiers, including an aprés showing of a telemark ski film in the Boomtown Bar on Saturday. Whether you’ve never tried tele or are a seasoned knee dropper, this is a perfect opportunity to get out, improve your skills, and try new gear. 49 Degrees North’s certified telemark instructors provide a unique opportunity for alpine skiers to broaden their horizons by learning a fun new way to ski and for experienced tele skiers to hone the craft.
Learn 2 Telemark Lessons will be available Saturday at 1 p.m., and group lessons tailored to the goals and desires of the group are available on Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Private lessons are also available all weekend. Don’t let a lack of gear stop you either, as 49° North has a telemark rental fleet and 22 Designs will be on site with their whole fleet of bindings, SCARPA NTN boots, Voilé & MOMENT skis, and more. Get your turns in and then join the aprés with your fellow tele fans to view Tele Colo’s “This Ol’ Mill” film at 5 p.m. Saturday evening in the Boomtown Bar. Contact 49’s Snowsports School at (509) 935-6649 x610 or skischool@ski49n.com for questions or lesson booking. (OTO)
