The Appalachian Telemark Association (ATA) is a loose confederation of free-heel skiers whose purpose is to promote the sport through social gatherings, instructional workshops, and races. ATA was founded in 1998 and is celebrating its 11th anniversary this year. ATA events are usually held at Seven Springs Mountain Resort.

ATA is the primary organizer of Telepalooza, an annual two-day telemark festival at Seven Springs. The 2010/2011 season marks the 9th year for Telepalooza. Telepalooza 2011 will be held on January 29/30. Thanks to WPSC and our Sponsors for their contributions and support!

As a member of the Western PA Ski Council (WPSC), ATA members can participate in WPSC-sponsored events including races, gate training, social events and ski trips. WPSC is the primary financial sponsor of Telepalooza.
