For many years I organised an annual get together at Mt Hotham to celebrate World Telemark Day. We would have up to 35 people meet and spend the day on the mountain. Eventually in 2018, we moved the Tele Day to Falls Creek and it morphed into the first Victorian Backcountry Festival (which has now morphed into the Australian Backcountry Festival, and will happen over three days at Mt Hotham at the end of August.

But the Tele Meetup tradition continues!

Sophie Stud posts in the Australian Telemarks facebook group that there will be another Tele Take Over this winter. She says: ‘A few of you may have made it to last years Tele take over, this year I would love to make it bigger then ever’.

DATE: Friday 12th September (avoid the weekend madness, and before APSI spring sessions for those that are keen to make it a tele long weekend)

WHEN: 9-1600 (or for as long as you fancy)

WHERE: Perisher

Details: Come meet fellow Tele skiers (bring your telecurious friends too) for coffee at 9 @jax Perisher then split into groups depending on levels/ goals etc regroup for lunch and post Tele drinks when we finish up.

Cost: a lift pass for Perisher if you don’t have one. This is a FREE event, no fees, no uniform or lift priority. Its a few coaches floating around sharing tips and tricks for the love of the sport if available.
