Marking the close of another fantastic season, the 2019 Pond Skim is set for Saturday, April 20th. Watch skiers and riders make their best attempt to cross the pond on skis – and whether they’ll skim or swim! Join thousands of spectators to cheer on creatively costumed participants while soaking up some spring sunshine and celebrating another great ski season. Free to spectate.
Brave souls dressed in outlandish costumes (encouraged) ski the headwall of Ambush and attempt to skim across a pond of water on their snowboard or skis. Attempted tricks into the pond are always fan-favorites. Registration is $25 and begins at 10am. The event is not judged, but the audience indicates favorites with their raucous applause. Skimming begins at 2:30pm.
The events on April 20th draw the crowd – so carpooling to the resort is strongly encouraged. Don’t miss out on one of the most fun winter celebrations in Montana! So, get your best spring costume together and do some skimming or come spectate and join the party. It’s time to celebrate an amazing season and party down!
