Registration

Tickets for this event are sold out, and we are not accepting any more names on the waitlist.

This event is open to both skiers and snowboarders. The first 100 entrants will be allowed into the competition. You will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire upon registering to give some information to our announcer & judges for the day.

All participants must either 1.) bring a valid season pass/lift ticket for the event day with them to our registration setup, or 2.) fill out an Express Assumption of Risk form (see below). If you are under 18, you will need a parent/guardian to fill out your form for you. Please click here to fill out our Express Assumption of Risk form if you plan on hiking up the course and not purchasing a lift ticket for the day, as there will be no discounted lift tickets available for purchase at registration.

*Please note that if any registered participants not arrive to our check-in location at the K-1 Lodge by 10:15 a.m. on 4/13, your spot in the competition will be forfeited to the first person who is present from the waitlist.

Schedule

Participant Rules

• All participants must be 48 inches or taller to participate.
• There will be a mandatory competitors meeting at the top of the pond/start area at 10:45 a.m.
• Please remove all valuables (jewelry, watches, sunglasses, etc.) prior to your skim. Killington will not be held responsible for any items lost in the pond.
• Tastefully over-the-top costumes are highly encouraged, but NO ski poles or nudity.
• No group skimming—singles only.
• Approaching the pond backwards is not allowed.
• The event starts at 11:00 a.m. and competitors run in bib order. Don't be late or you will not get your turn to skim the pond. Once the event starts, it runs very quickly, so be ready even if you have a high number.
• If you fall into the pond on your skim, please do not try to walk out of the pond. Wait for our staff to pull you out and get you to the reinforced exit area. Following this procedure will help us to ensure the pond does not rip and drain out prematurely.
• If you do not follow these rules, you will be disqualified.

Awards

The awards ceremony is slated to take place at 2:00 p.m. outside on the K-1 Lodge patio (weather-dependent). Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female in each category:

• Best costume
• Biggest splash (didn't make it across the pond)
• Best 20 & under overall skim (ski & snowboard)
