Wenatchee Telemark Festival is a two-day gathering of the tele tribe from the greater Pacific Northwest, where free heelers and the tele-curious come together to celebrate the art of tele turn.

Inspired by the likes of European telemark festivals such as La Skieda, Black Shoes, and TelemarkOnly, this event aims to bring the same spirit and excitement to the Pacific Northwest telemark community.

Ride what you bring - telemark or just rip it up on whatever plank you prefer - alpine, snowboarders, and tele-curious are welcome to try tele or just shred along!

We are working to have two telemark clinics at the event - beginner on Saturday night and intermediate/advanced on Sunday.  Keep an eye out for updates, and drop us a line if you're interested!
