The BOC Telemark Ski Program

The BOC Telemark Program promotes the lifelong sport of telemark skiing and a passion for being outdoors in the winter. BOC Tele aims to improve students’ telemark skiing ability, no matter their initial level, with a goal to make them proficient on-piste skiers able to translate their skills to the backcountry. We also encourage students to learn the mechanics of the telemark turn and the methodology to teach the sport to others. Students sign-up at an annual autumn info meeting.
