Skiers taking Private Lessons at Berkshire East

Tele 101 - Saturdays

The Telemark 101 is a package deal for first time Tele skiers that includes a 2 hour novice lesson, a NTN rental package, and a four hour flex all-mountain lift ticket. Participants, at a minimum, must be intermediate alpine skiers to take this lesson. In a two hour block, guests will learn how to step into NTN bindings and the basics of telemark skiing, such as lead change and controlling the inside ski. Guests may sign up for this lesson twice, with the understanding that the instructor will teach to the lowest common denominator and it is a novice experience. Those taking to the sport quickly on the first day should check out our advanced beginner / intermediate group lessons or Tele Tuesday clinics.
