Registration for the 2012 Washington Alpine Club Telemark / Randonee series is now open!
The Washington Alpine Club Telemark / Randonee series offers Telemark and Randonee ski instruction at all levels to WAC members. The six week series is held Wednesday nights at Summit West at Snoqualmie Pass.
The lesson series is designed to develop your skiing skill so you can ski with more confidence and enjoyment. Each lesson in the series builds on what was learned in the previous session. The instructor's observations and feedback on your movements will help you take your skiing to a new level. Classes are organized by ability level – Often classmates develop into good ski buddies.
Classes times are from: 7:30PM to 9:30PM on Wednesday nights Carpools are run from the Mercer Island Park and Ride @5:30PM and From Eastgate Park and Ride @5:30PM
Class dates: for the 2012 program will be Wednesday nights: Jan 11th, 18th, 25th, Feb 1st, 8th and 15th.
Gear: For telemark skiers plastic boots and modern shaped skis are highly recommended. For randonee skiers, either modern randonee gear or standard alpine equipment will work fine -- The classes focus on downhill skiing skill development.
Rentals are available from several local shops. Alpine gear may be rented from the Summit.
Pricing this season is as follows:
Now through November 30th: $139.00 December 1st through January 4th: $154.00 After January 5th: Not available!
This season the sign up system has been streamlined and you will no longer will need to sign up twice -- once on the WAC website and once on the Summit's website. Just send me an email Randy.Oakley@gmail.com and let me know you want to sign up and once I've verified your WAC membership, I'll send you a link to the sign-up page on the Summit's website -- where you may also purchase a season's pass at a discount if you like. The program is available to Washington Alpine Club members – you must be a WAC member in good standing to attend each class. If you aren’t currently a member: Click here to join the WAC 1st.
I currently discussing with the Summit the possibility of offering an additional program -- "Skiing the Steeps at Alpental" for more advanced students -- likely held the last weekend of February or the first weekend of March. If such a program would be of interest to you -- please email me Randy.Oakley@gmail.com and let me know.
here is the price schedule when you purchase your pass through the program – the “Night” pass is all you need for the program – the LTD pass is a good deal for beginning through intermediate skiers – since they probably won’t enjoy the steep slopes at Alpental
BTW -- when you enroll in the Wednesday night lessons, you may also purchase a season pass at a discounted price. For just doing the lessons, the "Night" pass is all you need. For beginner and intermediate skiers the "LTD" pass is a good value, since the steep slopes at Alpental are as much fun until you have advanced skills.
