The British Telemark Championships are a fantastic way to improve your skiing and meet fellow telemarkers. It is a two week trip based in Rauris, Austria. It is organised by the Army, but is open to civilians also. It is always a very enjoyable trip and is well attended by the telemark community.

The first week is coaching followed by a week of races. There are Development races aimed at beginners and everyone else has the opportunity to compete in the Championships races. There are sprint, classic and GS races. The sprint and classic contain a jump, gates, rap and skate section. Check out some World Cup Telemark videos on youtube to give you an idea but don’t let that scare you! These races are open to all abilities.

There is also a mountain race on the last day where telemark is taken back to it’s roots. The skins are brought out and it is a mass start up the mountain…a hot bowl of goulash soup awaits you at the finish line!
