Telemark is a valley in Norway where artifacts have been discovered to indicate that skiing began in that area over 2,000 years ago. What better name than for the first area on the west side to be designated specifically for cross-country skiing.
Telemark Cross-Country Ski Club was unofficially founded in 1974, becoming incorporated as a non-profit society in 1978. Vern Hopkins was instrumental in forming the club, along with Dave Brewer, Bill Chaplin and Phil Wakefield, noticing that the area was being used for skiing. Phil Wakefield succeeded in becoming the second president of Telemark. Larry Hancock was one of the first members to be involved in coaching - yes, we had a Telemark Racing Squad back then! A track setter was built to set tracks, which at the time was towed behind a snowmobile.
