GILFORD, N.H. — Farli Boden has done it again.
The 2018 Sandpoint graduate won the Elite Women's Division at the U.S. Telemark Ski National Championships held March 4-7 at Gunstock Ski Resort. The win marks her third national title since 2018.
Telemark ski racing, for those unfamiliar, combines the elements of Alpine and Nordic skiing.

Telemark ski racing truly tests all forms of competitive skiing in one.
