Welcome

Welcome to the 6th International Telemark Festival, the biggest free heeled get-together on earth. "La Skieda" is not just another sports event but a complex and meaningful cultural and musical happening.

It is a festival both curious and interesting for everyone.

Hurry to get signed up on April Fool's Day to the forever escalating spiral "La Skieda, 3rd Millennium". Come straight to our new location, "Skieda Pavillon" (always bigger and better) because this year we are determined to reach our goal of 2000 people and nothing can stop us. Our Motto is "The end justifies the means". Watch out!! Everyday we will be signing up Skieda members and giving out useful information.

At our Multimedia Center get connected to our web site and follow an 8 day Skieda evolution minute by minute everyday as it happens.

For the extra special Millennium celebration, Skieda Name Brand Gadgets or Famed Telemark Contraptions, recognized world wide by every telemarker alive, will be on sale throughout the week to satisfy your shopping appetites.

As soon as the sun goes down, we'll get loosened up for the night skiing program sipping Mexican cocktails at YPIOCA.

Later, ski with telemarkers from all over the world, check out foreign styles and confront various exotic techniques at the SKI SCHOOL for night skiing under the starlit sky of the Spöl valley. Need to warm up again? Toast with us once more for the opening ceremony "WELCOME" festivities at IL CIELO, high altitude disco.

Late night Telemark re-flexion's concerning:

The Archaeozoic age - The Orthogenesis of Grenville - Rapakivi Granite

Oh, and don't forget the early morning appointment for our two day bivouac.
