Wenatchee Telemark Festival 2027

Get ready for another gathering of the tele tribe at Mission Ridge Ski Resort on January 9-10, 2027!

WTFest is back for year three - this time it's all about celebrating the telemark community. Two days of skiing, clinics, demos, night laps, and good times with the freeheel crew. Whether you're a seasoned knee-dropper or just curious to try, you'll find your people here.

Ride what you brung!

Telemark, alpine, snowboard – whatever your plank of choice, everyone is welcome; WTFest has something for everyone. Tele-curious skiers can give it a try and see what makes this style so unique, while the freeheel tribe shreds together in the best spirit of camaraderie.
