50 Telemarkers brave the snow at TELEFEST 2008!

Despite being hit by the storm of the century, Ski Telemark’s TELEFEST 2008 became Powderfest 2008 at Osler Bluff Ski Club!!! Attended by 50 enthusiastic telemark skiers, great fun was had by all! Osler Bluff’s rustic mountain chalet served a hearty lunch followed by a supercharged afternoon of crazed telemarkers dancin’ in powder with snow accumulation of 8 cm. per hour!
