How it works
First, wear the most ridiculous outfit you can imagine. No matter what, resist all speed checks on the run-in. Don’t lean too far backward or forward and try to glide across the pond. If you fall, try to spray the crowd as you go, and take your skis off before you try to climb out of the water. If you fall in the water, you’re done! Those who can skim across, will move on to the next round with a closer start point. We’ll keep going until there is a winner! Ultimately, this is just for fame and glory but we will have some fun prizes to award winners.
Spectators welcome and encouraged to dress up as well!
Participants need a valid season pass or lift ticket for the day. Spectators do not need tickets to watch.
