Be our guest at Telemark Resort and ski one of the best trail systems in the world. From an easy glide to a forest cabin on the Treland or North End trails to the awesome slopes and turns of the World Cup and Birkebeiner trails, you'll find your share of tranquility and exhilaration here in the real Northwoods.

Choose from 15 trails with 22 loops right out the door of Telemark Resort's lodge or condos, including direct access to the Birkebeiner and Kortelopet trails. Many of Telemark's trails were designed by Olympic cross country coaches and skiers, including legends Bill Koch, Sven Wiik and Marty Hall. New for 2002 is the XC Fever Trail, a 2 km skating and striding loop linked to Telemark's snowmaking system.

Top all this off with miles of marked snowshoe trails, a tubing & snowboarding hill, horse-drawn sleigh rides, bonfires, candlelight ski/snowshoe nights, and an ice skating pond and you've got a sure fire formula for winter fun.

Telemark Resort has been a pioneer in skiing in the USA. In 1973, 35 skiers raced to Telemark in the first American Birkebeiner, now the largest ski event in North America. Telemark also hosted the first ever World Cup cross country ski race in 1978 and is the site of America's first 24 hour XC race, held in January.

Inside, Telemark Resort offers you the comfort and services you want for a wonderful winter weekend or vacation. 193 lodge rooms or condos, indoor swimming pool, whirlpool, saunas, restaurants, gift shops, and game room await your visit.
