As “World Tele Day 2026” quickly approaches, I reminisce about a fun weekend last year. I met up with CJ (Tele Colo) to hang out and help with some shooting for Tele Colo’s new video, “Worthless Milk.” Here are some BTS photos taken during the shooting of Julian Tyo’s segment in the new video and the World Tele Day at Rotarun Resort in Hailey, ID.
Julian Tyo giving us the tour and showing us the ins and outs of his new position as Mountain Manager at Rotarun Ski Area.
After spending a day with Julian, the party started to pick up as World Tele Day festivities were quickly approaching. This tele fest is one of my favorites: 15 acres of skiable terrain, one pommel lift, and a big party in the parking lot. There’s nowhere else to go, no other distractions; drink some Sawtooth Brewing beers, ski some weird setups, and make some friends. It’s the best time!
CJ working hard
No Bellows, no problem!
Come for a lesson, stay for the friendship. Spread Tele!
Does the teleboard ever end well?
Some Human Slalom and some TAILGATING to close it out!
If you haven’t had a chance check out Telecolo’s new video and grab zine Issue #4 ! Also, I hope you stop by a Sun Valley Telemark Event w/ World tele DAy coming up 03/07/2026!
Cheers – Lawrence
