Hickory Ski Center’s 4th Annual Telefest

Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburg, New York, held its 4th Annual Telemark Festival today. There were plenty of activities including an organized Tour de Trees, telemark gear demos, a “Skin Challenge” and an ongoing Après Party with music that started around 3 pm.

But I couldn’t concentrate on anything but the hill and the skiers I met. Hickory is a simple, pure skiing experience that I won’t forget, and I’ll long to relive.
