03/27/2010
Saturday, March 27, 2010
Our annual Pond Skimming Contest will be the first event of Spring Grüv. It’s one of those traditions that has been wild from the start. The Pond Skimming Contest is The Canyons’ most popular party and is the true indicator that spring has arrived. Contestants must dress in costume (the funkier the better) as they attempt to cross a 100-foot pond on skis or a snowboard. The pond and the excitement happen at mid-mountain just outside Red Pine Lodge. Must be 10 years of age or older to enter. Note: Spectators will need a lift or gondola ticket to watch.
Pre-registration is now Closed. We have approximately 25 spots remaining for day-of registration, so please arrive at Smokie's between 8:00am - 9:00am to finalize your spot.
