Updated: The Original Pond-Skim Event will take place on Saturday May 11
Get ready to make a splash! Palisades Tahoe is excited to announce the return of the 32nd Annual Cushing Crossing; the original pond-skimming contest widely regarded as the best event of the spring season. On May 11 at 1 p.m. (weather and conditions permitting), join in for a day of fun, laughter, and spills as participants attempt to ski or snowboard across Cushing pond in their craziest costumes.
In addition to the adrenaline-pumping pond-skimming action, attendees can look forward to a panel of local celebrity judges and two of the best emcees in the business. Category winners will receive prizes from our sponsors including Yeti, Smith, GoPro, Dakine, and Darn Tough! After the awards ceremony, check out the live music from the free Spring Tracks Music Series presented by Ikon Pass with DJ Logic at the KT Base Bar.
So come on out and enjoy the festivities! Space is limited, and registration is first-come, first-served.
Registration starts at 8 am sharp on the day of the event at the KT Deck. The registration fee is $20, payable in cash only. Admission to view the event is free, and everyone is encouraged to dress up in their wackiest costumes.
