Tele Festivals, Clinics, Workshops, etc.

As the sport has grown in recent years, so has the number of tele events. In order to provide our site visitors a way to connect with those who run these events directly, we now have an Events section as part of our Telemark Talk Forum. Go to the Forum index page and scroll down to the "Events" heading for three separate bulletin boards for festivals and demos, avalanche safety classes and skills camps and workshops.

If you have an event you would like to let folks know about, please feel free to jump on in and post as much relevant info as possible. Thanks!
