UNFORGETTABLE EDITION OF LA SKIEDA
The Livigno Telemark Club and almost 1,500 ‘free-heel’ skiing enthusiasts enjoyed the twenty-second edition of LA SKIEDA, the Telemark event par excellence revolving around the theme of time with IT’S LA SKIEDA TIME!
LA SKIEDA 2016, the International Telemark Festival in Livigno, came to a close on Saturday 9th April, much to the satisfaction of the organisers and sponsors of this 22nd edition. Even though the weather conditions were not favourable, 1,473 telemarkers from 26 countries arrived in Livigno, all for another unique edition!
Here are the numbers from this eight-day festival: 872 Ski Passes sold, 1,100 participants at the Trepallina Party at Passo d’Eira, 1,300 meals served accompanied by over 1,000 litres of beer, 622 people at Transumanza in Val Federia, 830 people at the two Dinners in Plaza Placheda, 56 telemarkers skied in period costume during the Epoque Race, 394 took part in the excursions with the Alpine Guides, and 12 tried the experience of unspoilt nature with the LA SKIEDA WILD TIME two-day excursions, a new feature for 2016. Lastly, there was great participation in the exercises with the Icaro Project volunteers and in the Telekids courses run by Livigno Ski Instructors with over 102 kids and children taking part.
Promoted by the Livigno Telemark Club with valuable support from the APT Tourist Office and the Livigno Ski Pass Association, 106 people were involved in the organisation of this event. The Livigno Telemark Club would like to thank all the staff whose dedication created a friendly atmosphere, confirming that the time spent together by telemarkers from all over the world is time spent together skiing and partying, time that is continuity yet also growth, in short IT’S LA SKIEDA TIME!
But that’s not all. The Telemark Club would also like to thank Livigno and its residents who are an important part of this event and have helped it make it to this 22nd edition. Special thanks also go to the brand sponsors who helped LA SKIEDA 2016 to succeed: from the main sponsor, BLACK DIAMOND, to DEVOLD who sponsored IT'S EPOQUE TIME, SCARPA who sponsored TRANSUMANZA, and NORDICA for the JUNIOR CLASSIC RACE. There were then many technical sponsors for LA SKIEDA 2016: Hestra, Deuter, Guasto, Gipron, Timberland, Ortovox, Oxeego and Aperol. Zeal Occhiali, K2 Skis, Scott, Volkl, The M Equipment, The North Face and Norrona all took part in the TELE EXPO. Special thanks should also go to the institutional sponsors: APT Livigno, Latteria Livigno, Ski Pass Livigno, Alpi Carni, Longa Carni, Partesa and osm1816.
Finally, let’s not forget the media power of the 22nd Livigno International Telemark Festival: the LA SKIEDA Facebook page received 13,742 ‘likes’ and over 80 articles were published in the press on and offline! It’s been an edition that all the organisers, partners and telemarkers will always hold in their heart: WE ARE LA SKIEDA!
