Event Information

Description

IMPORTANT: 

  • Email if you can drive for tele nights as we need more drivers to allow for more participants to attend on a weekly basis. Also, skiing starts at 6:30pm at Blackhawk, so if other drivers are able to get to the Union at 6pm, we could have a car leave the Union with gear earlier for more time to shred it up. I work until after 6pm in South Madison, so the earliest I can be to the Union is 6:30pm. 
  • **Bring $5 if you're not a driver for gas/car wear-&-tear**
  • **You need to buy your online telemark membership before you go. **See below for more info**
  • The club has ski gear for you to use (boots, skiis, poles), which we will get from the Memorial Union at 6:30pm. I'd recommend you buy your own leather gloves to protect your mitts from the tow lines (~$20). 
  • Wear your own warm ski gear (pants, jacket, hats, mittens, helmet - if desired, goggles - if desired).
  • If you'd like, bring snacks or a thermos of warm drink for apres ski. 
  • If we get more than one driver, we can have an earlier car return and a later car return (if that works for drivers). Skiing finishes at 9, but we usually don't get back to the Union and all the gear put away until closer to 10pm. Otherwise the return time will depend on what driver(s) request (earlier or later depending).
