Participants were encouraged to dress in old-fashioned ski gear and old wooden skis. Many interesting outfits and a variety of wooden skis made an appearance at the event — even a large traditional homemade ski pole with a basket made from a reworked dog bone, manufactured by Dave Brann.-Photo provided
