Wenatchee Telemark Festival 2025 – “Here We Go Again!”

Get ready for a second gathering of the tele tribe at Mission Ridge Ski Resort on January 11-12, 2025!

WTFest is back for another two-day celebration of freeheeling, where tele skiers from the Pacific Northwest and beyond gather to share their passion for the tele turn. Whether you’re a seasoned freeheeler or tele-curious, you are going to have a great time at this event for it's is all about community, fun, and good vibes!

What’s in store this year?

Building on the fun of the last year, we’re keeping the best and tweaking the rest! Two days of shredding the slopes with dozens of freeheelers, test out the latest tele gear, and level up with clinics for beginners, advanced skiers, and get introduced to lurking :) And don’t forget the raffle and night skiing!

This time, we’re simplifying the schedule to make sure everyone gets to enjoy the most popular activities.

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.
