Black Diamond Equipment and Telemark Skier Magazine present our third annual Targhee Telemark Festival. With a strong legacy of a one day event stretching back 27 years, our expanded multi-day festival has pumped up the vibe volume - don't miss out!

The festival which is co-hosted by Grand Targhee Resort, and Yostmark Mountain Equipment offers clinics for all levels with some of the top clinicians in the region including sponsored athletes, demo team members, PSIA trainers and more. The event also boasts a backcountry ski day guided by Yostmark Backcountry Tours in some of our famous Teton powder.

Clinics and backcountry skiing are just the beginning! You'll also enjoy:

Below is just one of the many comments that emerged from previous festivals: "I have been to several Telemark festivals over the years and I can honestly say that the quality of instruction, the attention to guest experience, and the overall vibe of this event were truly exceptional. I'll be back. And I will bring all my friends."
-Rick Jensen of Anaconda, Montana.

The weekend will start with pre-registration and a kick-off fiesta on the evening of Friday, February 27th to view the master of all Tele films Powder Whores 08. Two days of clinics will follow and the race/party and prizes will happen on Sunday afternoon. The backcountry ski day will be on Monday, March 2nd. Single or multi day options are available; thus you can join us for the entire weekend of clinics and activities or just the race & party!
