The Telemark Lodge was a resort in the lakes district of Bayfield County, Wisconsin. It was located two miles east of the town of Cable, Wisconsin prior to its demolition in April of 2021. Telemark was founded as an alpine ski area by Tony Wise in 1947, one of the first in the United States. A massive lodge was built in 1972 but struggled financially as ski lifts and less costly airfare opened up bigger hills. Telemark added a large facility, the Colosseum, in December 1980, that provided indoor tennis and new facilities for the ski hill and the cross country ski area, which was "partially dismantled" by 1998.
