22 Mar Winter’s Final Splash: Gunstock’s Pond Skim Extravaganza 2024
As the winter tapestry of the Lakes Region begins to thaw, we find ourselves bidding farewell to a season packed with frosty adventures. Yet, before we fully embrace the balmy breezes of spring, there’s one more wintry escapade that beckons – the exhilarating Pond Skim event at Gunstock Mountain. Scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 11 am to 2 pm, this event promises a blend of chilly thrills and spills that are sure to delight.
Mark your calendars for this whimsical event, where creativity and daring meet in a spectacular showdown. Participants, adorned in their most outlandish costumes, will attempt to ski or snowboard across a purpose-built pond at the mountain’s base, aiming for a dry finish on the other side. But fear not if the waters claim you; the spirit of the event celebrates every attempt, with prizes awarding the Best Costume, Best Cross, and, of course, the most dramatic splashdown. Ready to join the fun? Registration details will be available online a week before the event, with bib collection from 9 am to 11 am at the Historic Main Lodge. The skimming action is set to commence at noon, with the victors crowned shortly after the day’s escapades.
Festivities begin at 11 am, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. Gather with friends and family outside the Stockade Lodge for a pre-event gathering filled with delicious barbecue, refreshing brews from the beer garden, and lively music that’s sure to get you in the mood for the day’s frolics. It’s the perfect way to herald in the spring season with laughter, camaraderie, and a splash of adventure.
