Telemark Skiing
Lessons meet at Mt. Hood Meadows South Lodge, at the "Lesson Meeting Area" banner. Be there 15 minutes prior to lesson starting time. Lessons are available at the following levels:

Beginning (Green)
This class is for those who have never telemarked before. A basic understanding of Cross Country skiing is helpful but not required. You will be oriented in the proper use of equipment, chairlift procedure, as well as how to control speed and change direction with use of a wedge stance and building the foundations for a telemark turn on gentle to moderate terrain.

Intermediate (Blue)
Skiers in this class have stronger skills in either Cross Country or Alpine skiing and have the knowledge and skill of the wedge turn in either discipline. You must also be able to load and unload a chairlift. The class will move quickly to the proper technique of the Telemark turn on moderate to advanced slopes.

Advanced/Expert (Black)
This is an advanced class for those who have already Telemarked and want to enhance their technique. Classes venture from moderate to advanced slopes to skiing expert terrain and varying snow conditions.
