The Washington Alpine Club Telemark ski class 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.

Class dates: Wed Jan 6, 13, 20, 27 Feb 3, 10 Feb 17th as a make up.  

Costs: $130 for the lessons

 Here is the seasons pass price schedule when you buy a pass as part of the WAC lesson series:
