TAMWORTH — The Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth will welcome Jeff Leich, executive director of the New England Ski Museum, who will give a talk based on the museum’s current exhibit, “Before and Beyond the Lifts: Sketches of Backcountry Skiing” on Wednesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m.

Backcountry skiing — skiing without mechanical access via ski lifts — is enjoying a new popularity made possible by the ready availability of lightweight, sophisticated alpine touring equipment.
