Do you have some downhill ski experience and are looking for a new challenge? Ever thought of trying the legendary telemark skiing? Telemark skiing is a type of skiing where only your toes are connected and your heel is free. You have a slightly lower stance and skiing feels more fluid (and is more fun, at least according to our somewhat-biased leaders).
Come join us this Monday at Mount Wachusett, to learn the basics of telemark skiing! We will plan ski during session 1 at the mountain from 9am – 12pm. Be ready to have fun falling, burning our thighs, and eventually falling in love with this new way of skiing (or at least make it down the slope safely)!
Please note that we will ski at a resort, so this will add the lift ticket cost of $62.
Free the heel, and your mind will follow!
