Once everyone is comfortable with wedge and stem christie turns, the telemark turn will be introduced. Balance, steering, edging and pressure will be emphasized throughout the class. After missing one class the grade will automatically start dropping. Classes can be made up the last week of class at Pebble Creek or by attending part of the Telemark Workshop. Let Dana know how you will make up classes.
Single camber skis with a waxable base work best.
High top boots that have good ankle and lateral support. Leather or plastic 3. Downhill poles or aluminum cross-country ski poles. Fiberglass poles are more likely to break. The skis need to be back before the WERC closes or you will be charged for another day.
