Telemark Ski School
The Telemark Ski School of the Denver Group celebrates 40+ years of providing quality volunteer instruction to hundreds of students from all over Colorado! We help beginner-, intermediate-, and advanced-level telemark skiers learn and/or improve their telemark skiing skills. You don’t have to know how to telemark, we’ll teach you. Learn to telemark and look cool on the mountain. 😎
All sessions are at Loveland Ski Area where we begin each session by grouping you with others of like ability and assigning you your instructor for the day.
The School offers three individual sessions on Sundays: one in January and two in February, plus an additional weekday session in February. For faster improvement in your telemark skiing skills, take at least two sessions--but taking three or four is even better!
Look on the CMC website schedule for "Tele Tuesday at Loveland" telemark practice days, led by one of our instructors, along with other instructors who may be on hand to offer you telemark tips, if requested. This is YOUR year for telemark skiing...improve your skills and come join the fun!
The school cost includes your non-refundable Loveland Ski Area lift ticket.*
*If you already have a Loveland Season Pass or a Loveland 4-pak lift ticket and don't need a lift ticket, use promo code: 20TSS27 to deduct the cost from your registration total.

General Skiing Ability
You must be able to comfortably and safely get on and off of a ski chairlift and be comfortable skiing green terrain. You don’t have to be able to telemark on the green terrain, but you do need alpine/downhill skiing skills. This is not a “how-to-ski-if-you’ve-never-skied” course.
If you don’t have telemark equipment (skis, boots, poles), you’ll have to rent it.
These are required: plastic telemark ski boots; modern metal-edged skis (minimum waist of 80 mm); and downhill area or backcountry retractable ski poles.
XC (cross country) and XCD (cross country downhill) skis and boots, and long non-retractable ski poles are not appropriate for this school.
