Alp. Touring/Randonnee and Telemark Ski Demo 1/14 was created by MarmotMountain
Marmot Mountain Works in Bellevue and Backpacker’s Supply in Tacoma present an Alpine Touring/Randonnee and Telemark Ski Gear Demo Night to be held on Wednesday January 14th 2009 at The Summit at Snoqualmie.
The demo will be held at the Summit West ski area from 4pm until 9pm (Subject to snow conditions). This will most likely be the only event of this kind in our region this winter.
Many of the equipment manufacturers’ representatives will be in attendance with their fleets of demo gear for you to try out. Marmot Mountain Works will also make available the majority of their store's demo gear. A broad assortment of equipment will be available including gear from Black Diamond, Atomic, Ski Trab, Dynafit, K2, Volkl, Scarpa, and Garmont.
Please bring your own alpine touring/randonnee boots, telemark boots, and/or alpine downhill ski boots and poles if you have them in order to maximize your options and enjoyment.
The use of the demo gear will be free of charge, but you will need to purchase your own lift ticket and you will need to bring a driver’s license to sign up for the demo.
This demo is open to adult skiers; no kid's size equipment will be available. Please also be aware that if you have a very small or a very big boot size (i.e Mondo size 22 or 32), then there may not be any skis available with bindings that will fit your boots…sorry.
For more information, please call Marmot Mountain Works @ 425-453-1515.
- We hope to see everyone on the slopes!

I believe a significant portion of the Summit at Snoqualmie Ski area is on private land, so you will need to purchase a lift ticket (or have a season's pass) in order to participate in the demo. The spirit of the demo is to give folks the opportunity to take one or two runs on each pair of skis that they would like to try out. Skinning up for each run takes too much time, and could mean that other folks interested in trying the same pair of skis would have less of an opportunity to try them out as well.
