Pond Skim

The Pond Skim at Mt. Hood Meadows is scheduled for Saturday, April 29- closing day. Snowboarders and skiers ages 15 and older, get ready to skim your way across 100 feet of frigid water for some awesome prizes! Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, as well as for best splash, best costume and best overall impression. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be judged on making it across, costume and impression. In addition to sweet prizes from Ninkasi, 1st place will also receive $500 in passholder value, 2nd place will get $300 passholder value and 3rd place will get $100 passholder value. Registration is online in advance – this is a popular event and fills quickly, so make sure to register early. Registration includes a commemorative towel and a free pint for those 21 and older. (Registration for this portion of the event is now full.)
This event is in the base area so it’s great for spectators wanting to watch costumed competitors fly across a pond filled with water. We’ll also have music from DJ Kyle happening from 11 AM – 4 PM!
An added activity this year is the Special Olympics of Oregon (SOOR) Polar Pond Plunge which will immediately follow the second run of the Pond Skim. SOOR representatives will be on hand to register participants who want to take a plunge through the pond for $20 – all proceeds benefit Special Olympics. SOOR is bringing great prizes for a raffle – including round trip air for two on Alaska Airlines (must be used by October) and prize packages from Pit Viper: sunglasses, tshirt, swag and Craft Outdoor: headlamp, lantern, utility knife. A Mt. Hood Meadows 2023/24 Value Season Pass will also be added to the raffle. All Pond Skimmers are entered into the raffle – and those who take the plunge receive four raffle tickets.
