U10 Athletes

Some of the U10 Team traveled to Telluride for the U10 Alpine Championships. They had a great weekend taking advantage of days off from school to free ski a new resort.

Telemark

Tele Devo finished up their season with Coach Wendy and Charlie. Technical improvements were vastly seen as the crew skied the spring coral to slush snow. Looking forward to many of these guys and gals joining the Tele Big Mountain or Tele Race teams next season.
