2024- 2025 Memberships Now Available Support USTSA
Your USTSA membership purchase supports our athletes and allows us to continue to put on races and educational Telemark events. From Competitive to Junior and Supporting, there is a membership for everyone.
These are the men and women of the US Telemark Ski Team. From all across the country each one of these athletes has a passion for Telemark skiing and racing, and is driven to develop public recognition of the sport.
Throughout the season, USTSA hosts a wide variety of events - from clinics and lessons to race training, local races, National Championships and even a few FIS World Cups.
Telemark is Here to Stay Contrary to popular opinion - Telemark is not dead
In fact, it's here to stay. With almost half a century of history here in the United States, Telemark racing is a fundamental part of the ski narrative.
Snow is in the forecast! Hopefully you all can feel the excited anticipation of this coming ski season! Some of our team has already been out on the slopes testing their legs. As we are coming off of one of our largest turnouts of US athletes at the World Cup and a reunion at Karbon US Telemark Ski Nationals at Gunstock we are stoked for the 2024/25 seasons to start up!
If you are new to telemark or an old soul we want to hear from you! This year we are focusing on building community and supporting each other. This is always one of our goals as an association but this year we really want to build a community that embraces all aspects of telemark skiing. Racing is just one part of the telemark scene - our goal is to bring that excitement to all types of telemarkers. We want to support our fellow knee droppers whether that is going to your local tele festival, loaning some gear out so someone can try it for the first time or organizing an event to get us all together on one mountain. Reach out to us on any of our socials (Facebook @US Telemark Ski Team and Instagram @USTelemarkski) we want to hear from you!

Beyond the Telemark Turn: Exploring Telemark Racing
Ultimately, the aim of a telemark race is to record the quickest time between the starting gate to the finish line.
