This lesson is an add-on that requires you to also register for day-use or an overnight at Meany Lodge for the same days as your lessons. Please see the Meany Lodge Calendar to register for day-use or an overnight.
COVID notes

Meeting time and place
We will meet at 8:15am in the overnight parking area of the Crystal Spring Sno-Park. The Meany Lodge snowcat “Tom Cat” will do one pick-up from the parking lot and bring you and your ski gear up to Meany Lodge to the slopes. It will return guests to parking lot around 5:30 pm. Get your ski boots on and your skis handy after parking.
Parking info
Don’t forget that Your car will need a State Sno-Park Permit.
Required Equipment
Telemark ski gear, and your helmet. Please bring your own or rent equipment in town - the Snow Sports Director (daniel-del-norte@outlook.com) can help answer your questions. The Mountaineers does not provide you with equipment, and we do not have equipment to rent at the Lodge.
Attempting to telemark ski with AT (Randonee) gear is not recommended. While the telemark stance can be useful when touring undulating terrain, most AT bindings are not robust enough to handle the forces generated by the telemark turn.
Helmets are strongly recommended.
Handwear: The rope tow wears out gloves and mitts quickly, so we recommend wearing leather work gloves over glove liners. Welding gloves also work well. Meany also has several styles of leather over-mitt protectors available for sale. Most people stay plenty warm while skiing. We recommend bringing a separate pair of warm mitts to wear while you are not riding.
