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).

Only complete challenges within your skill level and/or that look fun to you!
