SnoBar, Dummy Jump & Big Sky Big Grass return to Lone Mountain
Ski season is in full swing at Big Sky Resort, and with it a full events calendar! SnoBar continues with its second and final event of 2018 on Saturday, January 20th. The hottest dance party to hit the slopes runs from 6–10pm each evening near Mountain Village plaza. Dance the night away to Prez, Downpour Musik, and Chrome, among others, with a stage and bar area made entirely of snow! Admission is $15 cash only and available at the gate. Must be 21+ to partake.
The Dummy Jump returns for its 15th annual event! Build a dummy, launch a dummy, crash a dummy, and enjoy belly laughing fun at this year’s event, set for Saturday, February 3rd from 10am–1pm. This event features tons of prizes and registration is FREE!
Participants build a dummy to be launched off a ski jump, high into the air, and crowds witness the carnage of the landing. An awards ceremony will follow the main event.
Teams are encouraged to design, build, and modify a dummy competitor that will ski in a straight line and launch off a ski jump to their demise. Contestants must design their dummies with modesty in mind for the younger audience in attendance, and leave no trace. Successful dummies have balance, low center of gravity, and straight long skis. The better a dummy self-destructs on impact, the better chance of winning.
Dummies will be judged and awarded on creativity, amplitude, structure, and destruction on impact. Each dummy receives one run as they are individually shoved out of the starting gate toward a large jump with a dismount onto a flat landing zone to get closest to the bull’s eye.
Looking ahead, the 12th Annual Big Sky Big Grass is set for Thursday through Sunday, February 8th–11th. Featured artists include Billy Strings, The Travelin’ McCourys, Kitchen Dwellers, Trout Steak Revival, Leftover Salmon, Keller & the Keels, Larry Keel Experience, Madison Range, Two Bit Franks, and Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs.
