Flamingos, tiki’s and ice sculptures will set the stage at Skibowl’s annual Snow Beach Festival, a spring break event featuring a full-day of family fun for participants and spectators.

The highlight of the day is the legendary 12th annual Pond Skimming Contest where contestants attempt to skim across a freezing, cold pond. Clearing the icy water is not a requirement to win, and dramatic landings help score big points. Prizes will be awarded for Best Costume, Best Style/Trick, Best Attitude/Effort and Best Overall Crash/Splash.

ENTER THE POND SKIMMING CONTEST AND WIN SOME OF THESE GREAT PRIZES!

• Vacation Package to Gearhart By The Sea on the Oregon Coast
• Golf Vacation Package to Kah-Nee-Ta Resort & Spa
• Wakeboards, Lessons and Gear from Action Water Sports
• Snowboards, Twin Tip Skis, Backpacks and tons more gear!

Watch from the splash zone or in the beer garden at the Suds on the Slope Beer Garden nearby.

Don't forget about the 4th annual Goggle Tan Rail Jam with great prizes and swag, or the traditional Hot Dog Eating Contest sponsored by Nathans, or the Fire on the Mountain Wing Eating Contest!
