Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Polartec Scufoneda Telemark Festival in the Dolomites near Moena, Italy. I went under the guise of work but it really was way too much fun to call it that.
Polartec has sponsored the event for the past 3 years and plans to ramp it up next year – so mark your calendar now – it’s an amazing event.
For a week each year a crew of tele skiers from around the world convene to ski tour, enjoy the local food and culture, and generally have a great time. Everyone there was super friendly and supportive – no egos, no pressure.
Skinning up – descended the other side in a white-out. 10 turns, regroup, count heads, 10 turns…

Nice to be the sponsor – got to take a few laps on the edge of the freeride comp course – found the soft snow in the shady, North facing gulleys:

I’m sure you think you’ve seen this dance before – but hold out for about 1:12+ – whoa!
Every direction you look the mountain views are insane.
