Try Telemark is a resource to find certified instructors, gear and events in Canada to promote the sport of Telemark Skiing. We invite you to come play on the snow and feel the power of the beautiful turn.
Modern telemark skiing is a fluid, powerful, carving turn that feels amazing to do. It is about being in the zone, balanced on your edges. The upper body quiet and stable while the legs flow through, over and around the terrain. The most rhythmic and dynamic way to descend a snow covered hill.
From a distance it looks as if the skier is dancing effortlessly down the slope. In the lift line you can hear the muffled comments of people pointing out your funny skis to their kids. On the chair rides the comments start on how cool that looks! is it hard to do? how can I try it?
There is a mystique to this original form of alpine skiing that has returned to the slopes.
Try Telemark is for skiers who would like to join the fraternity or think they might. To discover what the buzz is about. If you have skied for years and are looking for a new challenge this may be for you.
Our goal is help you find opportunities available, to strap on a set of modern telemark gear and spend a couple of hours with a certified instructor. To discover the feeling for yourself. To promote the return of this “old new sport”. With modern boots, skis and bindings that transfer the power and feel directly from the ski to you. We are passionate about this snow sport and want to share our love of it.
