    Description
    This class is designed for students who have some experience skiing using a Telemark or Nordic style. The Telemark turn allows skiers to descend using a free heel ski. The emphasis for this class is on developing higher level skills related to descents in the winter backcountry using Telemark turns. Students must be prepared for long, physical days occurring at high elevation in winter environments.
