Archive:Tele School 2007

Introduction

Date: Saturday, January 20, 2006. Basically, this is an informal day of telemark skiing instruction at Seymour mountain. We have some great instructors who have many years of experience. The only cost to the Students is gas and a portion of the instructor's lift ticket. If we get more than 8 students, we get a group discount (day ticket ~35 with tax). The day will be spent in-bounds and during day light hours, thus technical gear beyond your skis, poles and boots is not required. Something will be planned after the lessons to help ease learning pains. I am thinking either a hot tub, beer or both.

Cost

The cost will be your lift ticket and a portion of your instructors ticket; also gas money if you are getting a ride (should be really small). The lift tickets will be ~35 if we get 10 students by Jan 17th or ~42 if we don't.

Equipment List

• telemark skis
• plastic boots (plastic really helps)
• poles
• goggles/glasses
• winter wear (warm jacket & pants, gloves, hat)
• lunch or you can buy

Dry School

There will be a dry school on Jan. 17 in the club room @ 6pm to coordinate rides and gear. There will be a gear master and instructors to help you select gear if needed.

Sign-up

• Instructor Sign-up

We will try and maintain a student to instructor ration of 4:1 (minimize cost to students while keeping small group sizes). Instructors will be selected as student numbers require in order of sign-up. I might not teach depending on demand.
