On Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Mt. Hood Meadows. Snowboarders and skiers aged 15 and older are invited to test their skills—and their balance—by skimming 100 feet across a frigid pond.
The competition is right in the base area, making it a prime spot for spectators to watch all the fun, from amazing skims to unforgettable wipeouts.
Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as for best splash, best costume and best overall impression.
