What is pond skimming? Pond skimming is a traditional end-of-season event at ski hills across North America and beyond. A wild start from the beginning, this is the ultimate spectator sport!

This rites-of-spring event's rules are simple: ski, board, or slide across the pond. You either skim or swim - either way the crowd will cheer! Creative outfits are the norm, and the crazier it is will quickly make you a fan-favorite!
