February 22nd, Grand Targhee will host the Telemark freeski competition. One of the biggest event on the telemark scene for sure. Check out the Facebook page for more information
Here’s what organizer Jake Sakson has to say about it:
3 reasons to come to the Grand Targhee Tele Comp:
1) Have one hell of good time
Its always fun when there is a bunch of telemarkers in one place
2) Meet a bunch of rad telemarkers
You’ll never be without a couch to crash in any ski town again.
3) Challenge yourself as a skier
Competitions require all the fundamentals that make for good freeskiing. Technique, line choice and focus. In the end it’s a learning environment and a great place to put your skills to the test or bounce ideas around with fellow freeheelers.
Venues are looking good! Should be an awesome contest. I look forward to seeing all y’all freeheelers out there.
