This year’s Telemark Freeskiing Championships, scheduled for March 22 – 25 at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, have been cancelled. The Extreme Limits terrain is great for our guests and the coverage is ample, however for competitors of this caliber the venue is not as safe as the resort and event organizers would like. The resort plans to once again host the Freeskiing Championships next year when Mother Nature will bless us all with lots of powder.

2012 US Telemark Freeskiing Championships
We are pleased to be holding the 16th annual US Telemark Freeskiing Championships again at Crested Butte again this year. For more information and registration visithttp://www.skicb.com
Alta, WY – Jan. 6, 2012) — Grand Targhee Resort, located in Teton Valley Wyoming on the back-side of Jackson Hole, has been blessed with over eleven and a half feet of snowfall to date. This 142” of early-season snowfall has given it a 47” powder and packed powder base with more snow in the forecast. Given that la nina and this winter have not been as generous with some other regions, Targhee is offering a “ski free” program to skiers who have bought season passes to any U.S. or Canadian Ski resort for this 2012 season. The offer is good for any skier who books three nights lodging through Grand Targhee’s website or central reservations.
“We respect how precious skiing and riding is to the die-hard winter enthusiasts who commit to season pass purchases,” said Ken Rider, director of marketing & sales for Grand Targhee Resort. “Weather is fickle and we realize that every resort is but one big dump away from the record conditions we all enjoyed last season. For now, we have gotten loads of snow and we thought we would reach out and use this early season to introduce skiers who love powder to the 2,602 acres available at the ‘Ghee. All three mountains, Fred’s, Peaked and Mary’s are open with 100% of our terrain. We think it’s a good time to plan a ‘break away’ to Grand Targhee for a long weekend or full week of skiing.”
The offer is good for any season passholder from any U.S. or Canadian resort that holds a valid 2012 season pass. The offer is good for free skiing for one day for each night the skier books in Grand Targhee’s properties. Some 150 properties are available for booking and guests utilizing this offer must stay a minimum of three nights. Offer is good while lodging availability lasts. Lodging rates range from $98 per night to $599 per night. Currently, adult daily lift tickets are $69.
“We are all skiers and riders,” Rider said. “Obviously we want every resort in the world to be blessed with ample snow. As long as Targhee is blessed this year, we want to share it with everyone who can make it up here. The conditions are incredible and offer a variety for all level of skiers—from powder to nice long groomers.”
Grand Targhee is accessible by direct flights into both Idaho Falls, ID (one hour drive) and Jackson Hole, WY (45 minute drive.) From Salt Lake City, the drive is under 5 hours and from Denver, less than 9 hours.
To book your reservation or for more information simply call toll-free 1-800-TARGHEE (827-4433) or visit us online at www.GrandTarghee.com
Please mention that you are a current and valid season passholder at any US or Canadian Ski Resort at the time of booking. Upon arrival at Grand Targhee, each season passholder included in reservation will be required to show their valid 2011/12 season pass at check-in to receive complimentary ski tickets (one lift ticket, per passholder for each night of lodging). The offer is not valid with any other offers or promotions, and is based on availability and may be discontinued at any time. Valid for new reservations only.
Please check out Grand Targhee’s programs and snow conditions at www.GrandTarghee.com
Dear Fans, Athletes, Sponsors, Friends and Supporters of Tough Guy Productions,
Another great ski season is on for the TGP crew!
Due to the lack of snow around the Lake Tahoe area, I’ve headed back to my homeland of Canada for an all winter tour. My new wife and TGP partner, Allie, is staying behind to coordinate the Telemark Big Air Invitational, as a specialist for the inaugural Winter Teva Mountain Games, in Vail, Colorado, February 9-12, 2012. TGP has selected and invited 10 of the worlds best “Tele Jibbers” for the competition. The Telemark Big Air is one of the main spectator events for the games, under the lights, side by side with the “Bike Best Trick” comp. This event will bring great exposure for the sport of Telemark skiing, please spread the word! Registration is now open at http://www.regonline.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1032465
As for the Big Mountain Telemark Competitions, there will be two events. Grand Targhee Resort and Crested Butte Mountain Resort will each host a comp with the same format as last year with a day of qualifier, a final and super final round, along with awards and after parties. Please note that due to the lack of corporate partnerships, there will be no California or Alaska event this year, nor a comprehensive points series as in the past.
For your entertainment this season, stay tuned to the TGP Facebook fan page and check out www.toughguyproductions.com for photos, trip reports, and web episode to see your favorite TGP athletes in action exploring Canada’s wonderland… Also, new this year, TGP is proud to produce the FREERIDE/FLOW/FESTIVAL, a unique three-day celebration of Backcountry & Freeride Clinics, Live Music DJ’s and Yoga at Kirkwood Mountain Resort, March 16-18, 2012. Please visit www.freerideflowfest.com for event details.
In this note, I want to wish all Teleskiers out there a Happy New Year and a great 2012 ski season! Please remember to respect the backcountry and make smart decisions while your skiing. Voice your opinion with your ski partners before, during and after your own ski adventure. My mojo is to have fun and ski to Tele another day! If you feel that it’s not completely safe out where you are, turn around and come back another time, the mountain will be waiting for you…
Cheers to the greatest and oldest turns on the hill!
Proud to be a Telemarker for 1/2 my life now!
