Don't let the forecasted weather get in the way of good times with your fellow Midwest Pinheads!
Stay safe out there, and keep your tips up
Who else remembers the early days of our great fest?
I do. I drew the conceptual drawing of this, and Chris Berry who worked at the mining journal at the time, had the final print made.
Still have that t-shirt. It's a little threadbare.
I do!
Come have fun this weekend. Help finish skiers left side of our gladed run. Taco's and beach fire to follow work party. Send us a message if you have any questions.
I would of it knew earlier. But I will be in white pine in first weekend in October
It was a very productive Sunday Funday Chainsaw Party! We are in a really good spot for next Saturday's brush cutting party. We were able to open up the skiers left side of our gladed run. With one more day the skiers left side will be good to go for this winter. Thanks to the amazing crew of Tele skiers that showed up today. We are looking forward to working with more Tele skiers this Saturday.
Way to go y’all! Clear that glade 😎
Good for you!
Update for Midwest Telefest 2023
Porkies Brush Clearing event is Saturday September 17 starting at 10am. See official event post on the Midwest Telefest page for more info.
As many of you have heard already, Porcupine Mountains State Park management has decided to return to running the ski hill operations for the 2022/2023 ski season, stay tuned for more updates.
Midwest Telefest would like to thank and honor William Perrin aka Bill aka GOAT for his years of dedication, hard work and excellent management of the Porkies ski hill. Bill was the best manager ever for the ski area, and great to work with for our annual February event! Good luck Bill in your next endeavor!
Also, I (Matt Manders) am stepping down as co organizer for Midwest Telefest as Keith Opperman, Kristin Opperman and Gavin Opperman will all be managing Telefest going forward along with all the other folks that volunteer to make this the best weekend of Teleskiing every February! It has been an honor to help Midwest Telefest grow and thive the last several years. Keith and family have been adding value to the event for the last several years with more races, offering free telemark ski demos and so much more. Midwest Telefest will still be the same event you come to expect and is in great hands with the Opperman family!
I plan to do more backcountry skiing this winter and less lift serve. Additionally I plan to offer backcountry tours at Telefest 2023, so stay tuned for info on that!

Thanks Matt Manders for all the help, it was fun!
Unfortunately, I won't be helping with brush removal this year. Bill aka Goat did an amazing job as ski hill manager. Thank you for mentioning him!!
Best way to get lost is to follow Matt.
Thank Matt.
