2012 Pre-Season Events:

MEC Snowfest – Toronto, Barrie, Burlington; SOJOURN Evening

The best event yet, ‘Free Heel Fun & Technique’ brought out a wonderful mix of free heel supporters with great discussion following Rob Henderson’s presentation! A technical challenge was thrown out to all for the development in their personal free heeling and new support is forthcoming from several resorts for the sport! Special thanks to Sojourn, ST instructors and TSO!

Great turn-out last Saturday @ MEC Snowfest, Keith and Johnny were lurking in newcomers with Keith’s lurk into the sport!

  • A real BUZZ dominated SOJOURN’s ‘FREE-HEEL GEAR-UP’ on Thursday evening November 10th! Folks from far and wide tried on and talked shop with Black Diamond, Scarpa and Rossignol representatives, SOJOURN’s staff and Ski Telemark’s team! Special thanks to all for a great evening and a dash of snow!
  • MEC Snowfest held @ Toronto store was a big success! Fine weather brought many folk downtown to shop and talk! Ski Telemark’s booth managed by instructors Keith and David shared their enthusiasm and knowledge with many! Thank you to MEC Toronto!
  • Glenn and David were fantastic and a great help in making Snowfest a success. It’s really great to be associated with people such as Ski Telemark whom are passionate about helping people enjoy the outdoors. Our staff were ecstatic about having your group present and are looking forward to skiing with you. Thanks for all your help in promoting the event. We will see you at Telemark Warm-up!
