Prizes
One of the neat things about our festivals are the prizes we give for our various events. we are just starting to see what we will have to give away this season but here are a few.
One of the first sponsors to come on board for this years events is Rainey Design. Russell has been an innovator in telemark bindings for many years and last year introduced his revolutionary new binding..the Hammerhead. Expect hammerheads to be some of the top prizes.
Another new revolutionary binding on the market is the new Linken. It's a step-in binding with a stiff aluminium plate hinged at the flex point of the foot. Go to their web site or check it out at our festivals. Look for Linken to be some of our top prizes.
We will once again raffle off two trips for a four day catered and guided backcountry ski trip into one of Kootenay' Experiance's yurts. To learn more about Kootenay Experiance and Ymir Yurts check out their web site.
Atomic Ski gave us a number of pairs of Tm22's last season. we are waiting to hear what the ski will be this coming season.

Bomber has entered the telemark business with a monster binding called the 'Bishop' and it's already getting rave reviews. They will be sending us four pair to give away in our raffle.
Karhu joins us this year with their all new line of telemark skis headed by the exciting Jak. They have also introduced a new release binding called the 7TM. Look for the Jaks and to be big prizes this winter!
The Teleboard guys have some Teleboards to give away just for trying out their unique mono-ski.
Alpina will once again be giving us a few pair of their Rottefella Cobra bindings. Here is a little bit about the Cobra.
'Cobra The freeride solution The news this season is the Cobra ski binding. It is designed to withstand the demands of freeriding aggressive lines in severe terrain and the reality of big-boot pressure. Key words are quality, strength and precision. Side-mounted compression springs in polished aluminium cartridges. Rotating the compression-spring cartridges offers easy micro-adjustment. Quick-latching heel throw for convenient entry and exit. Specially developed for plastic boots with 18 mm. '
