2025 Empire State Winter Games Coverage

The Empire State Winter Games (ESWG) 2025 is New York’s premier multi-sport winter competition, bringing together over 2,000 athletes from across the state to compete in events like alpine skiing, figure skating, hockey, and more. Held in the iconic Lake Placid region, the games celebrate athleticism, perseverance, and the spirit of winter sports. As a staff photographer for the 2025 ESWG, I had the opportunity to document the energy and excitement of the competition, capturing moments of triumph, determination, and camaraderie on and off the ice.
