Alpine pt'elemaximus

Author: Alexa millward

While working at Alpine I have been fortunate enough to have experienced many new opportunities, but I must say joining The Alpine PT’elemaximus Telemark team has been by far one of my favorites. Although I had never "tele"skied in my life, Sam Schmidt and Brace Hayden placed tele skis in my hands and said “See ya Thursday!” ...and well you can probably take a guess how our Thursday nights went from there…AWESOME! Unlike traditional alpine skiing, telemark skiing involves skiing with your heel unconnected from your binding while "gracefully" lunging down the hill, hence the slogan "free-heelin." I may have made a fool of myself at times, but that’s exactly what the tele races are all about! It’s a night to get away from your busy week, hone in your skiing skills (on all levels), hopefully win some beer at the end of the night, and most importantly spend time with a great group of people, cheering you on the entire time. Whether it’s your first time tele skiing or racing... or have been tele skiing for years, the tele race league is a super fun community. Alpine PT has been a sponsor of the Missoula Telemark Races for over 10 years now and this race series has been running for 36 years now thanks to the help of generous community support. 
 
With that being said, the Alpine PT’elemaximus Telemark ski racing season is unfortunately coming to an end, but not to fret we are leaving with a final hurrah! We would love for our Alpine PT crew to join us at the bowl on Saturday, February 16th at 6:00 for our final night of races. Come cheer our team on from the spirit lounge, get some dinner'n'drinks and enjoy the night's disco themed after-party. Let’s show everyone how Alpine gets groovy (costumes highly encouraged)!
