Introduction
Date: Saturday, January 20, 2006. Basically, this is an informal day of telemark skiing instruction at Seymour mountain. We have some great instructors who have many years of experience. The only cost to the Students is gas and a portion of the instructor's lift ticket. If we get more than 8 students, we get a group discount (day ticket ~35 with tax). The day will be spent in-bounds and during day light hours, thus technical gear beyond your skis, poles and boots is not required. Something will be planned after the lessons to help ease learning pains. I am thinking either a hot tub, beer or both.

Cost
The cost will be your lift ticket and a portion of your instructors ticket; also gas money if you are getting a ride (should be really small). We will be getting 5 ticket vouchers that are $25 per ticket with a valid student ID or $31 dollars without; so please bring your student ID . It is really hard to pin down the price because it varies with the number of students, but a reasonable estimate of total cost will be between $35 to $40 per student (includes instructor, ticket, gas and tax).
Equipment List
- telemark skis
- plastic boots (plastic really helps)
- poles
- goggles/glasses
- winter wear (warm jacket & pants, gloves, hat)
- lunch or you can buy
Dry School
There will be a dry school on Jan. 17 in the club room @ 6pm to coordinate rides and gear. There will be a gear master and instructors to help you select gear if needed.
Learning Material
This stuff is especially good for instructors.

Sign-up

We will try and maintain a student to instructor ration of 4:1 (minimize cost to students while keeping small group sizes). Instructors will be selected as student numbers require in order of sign-up. I might not teach depending on demand.
