Hickory Telemark Festival, Feb. 12, 2011

mark your calendars.  We already know it's going to be a big powder day!!!
Welcome Telemark Skiers to the 4th Annual Hickory TeleFest on Sat. Feb 12, 2011 located at the legendary Hickory Ski Center,in Warrensburg, NY.  Hickory, established in 1948, rivals Mad River Glen as a popular telemark ski destination known for its terrain varied from beginner to rugged ungroomed natural terrain and awesome tree skiing. At this year’s Telefest, you’ll find marked trails and tree skiing during guided mountain tours. Free demos of the latest tele equipment coupled with tele clinics will fine tune your skills and provide beginners a try at telemark skiing. New this season is the “Tele Skin Challenge Race” where skins meet terrain for a challenging, backcountry climb and a downhill course to the finish. Watch the action on deck at the lodge or trailside or sign up to participate in this new event.  The Tele gathering continues into the evening with an apres ski party featuring  local brews, music and prize giveaways. Discount lodging is close by.  Lift ticket and all telefestivities - $45 at the door (with a sno-dag card or $50 without).  For Info – email HickoryMartha@aol.com or call 518-798-3962, www.hickoryskicenter.com.

Bump up.

Todd's Garage, a local classic rock band will be playing at the apres ski party Saturday afternoon and evening.  We had an additional 4" last night.  Hoping for more.

This fest sounds like a good time. I think I'll have to go...free heel or not, all are welcome.

I also encourage folks to come out for this fun event, regardless of the gear you ride on.

(Personally I think there should be a prize for most runs completed on Poma 2 by a snowboarder.)

We'll certainly have our cameras out and will be posting up next week.

Please feel free to post an individual TR, or if you just have a few pictures/words you'd like to add feel free to post in this thread.

See you on Saturday. Should be a great time.
