  • Come join us under the lights for some tele fun! Our classes focus on the modern, upright telemark ski position (“It’s a curtsy, not a lunge!”) that minimizes joint and muscle strain, and encourages a freeing, whole-body experience. We will build the fundamentals that create flowy turns on varied terrain - a dance down the mountain! You will receive individual feedback and coaching to help you achieve your goals. These classes are appropriate for novice to advanced skiers who are comfortable descending from the top of the mountain (if even using alpine/parallel turns) on telemark gear with 75mm, NTN, or tech toe telemark bindings. While skinning is fun, we will be riding the lifts to optimize ski time. Clinic will run for 90 minutes. Lift ticket is included.

  • Our Women’s / Non-binary Ski Development Program, created by and for women, to meet fellow adventurers, enhance skiing skills, and boost confidence on the slopes. Taught by Whaleback’s professional female instructors, these clinics cater to adults aged 18 and over, featuring three lessons over three consecutive weeks, one per week. Elevate your skiing abilities with us.
