4th Annual Tele-fest in March!
February 23rd, 2010Mark your calendars for the 4th Annual Telemark Festival!
For over 20 years Clair Yost and Yostmark hosted Nordic Fest, a one day ski race/costume party that had its own special following. In 2006 we partnered with Grand Targhee and Black Diamond to put on one of the best tele instruction clinics in the West that includes a backcountry day and finishes with the trademark costume party/race.
Top instructors including Yostmark’s Rich Rinaldi will be instructing the finesse of the tele turn so you can rip it up in all conditions as you free your heel.
Join us for March 5-8, 2010 for the tele event of the season!
RIP Wray Landon
February 22nd, 2010Last night we heard the terrible news about our good friend Wray Landon who was killed in an avalanche yesterday on the South Teton. Our hearts go out to all Wray’s friends and family. Everyone at Yostmark will miss his mountain spirit. RIP.
Stay safe out there.
