Heck yeah! Welcome to the tele club! We created the Task Booklet so that it has challenges fun for everyone from a beginner to a seasoned ripper.
Teams can consist of anywhere from 1 to 5 telemark skiers and/or filmers.
The only real requirement is that the challenges in the Task Booklet are completed by people on telemark gear (unless said otherwise).
Anytime before 11:59 PM PST on April 21, 2025. YES, we extended the deadline this year!
Yeah, we got weird. No worries! Shoot us an email at kqth@telecolo.ski and we will make sure to help you out!
Absolutely not! We have received submissions from all over the US and beyond!
As long as you're droppin' knees, you can be anywhere in the world and still participate. Shout out to anyone beach skiing in the tropics!
Great question! Check out all of the previous entries from 2020 through 2024 below!
We are always stoked to check out what teams are up to throughout the season.
Tag @telecolo_ and #kqth on your social media posts so we can share it with the world!
Skip them! Teams are not required to complete all of the challenges in the Task Booklet.
Only complete challenges within your skill level and/or that look fun to you!
Exactly, this is certainly a part of the KQTH challenge! Pick and choose what tasks fit your crew the best (and ideally get you the most points)!
