Pond Skimming at The Canyons
Spring is finally in the air in Park City and that means Pond Skimming at The Canyons. The Spring Gruv festivities took place this past Saturday, March 29 under blue Park City skies and on top of great snow and ice-cold water.
A huge sun-soaking, beer-drinking crowd witnessed 100 competitors “attempt” to ski and snowboard across the icy abyss. Some competitors stayed dry and others failed miserably.
The Pond Skimming winners were:
Best Costume: Scott Hendrick & Rachael Paskiewicz, “Lactating Breasts”
Best Splash & Crash: Tom Casper, “Boozy the Clown”
Best Overall Male & Best Overall Female: Robb & Aniya Langjahr, “Til Death Do Us Part, Dead Groom and Bride”
To feel like you were there, watch the following videos:
Rob and John show that there is more to Pond Skimming day than just Pond Skimming–

Overall, a good showing by the local Park City skiers and snowboarders. The Pond Skimming was followed by a free concert by Soul Asylum in the Resort Village.
Other “Spring Gruv” events at The Canyons this spring include concerts by Slightly Stoopid (April 3, 2008), Metal Gods (April 4, 2008) and Rusted Root (April 5, 2008). In addition, the Canis Lupus Challenge took place on Sunday, March 30.
Already looking forward to next years Pond Skimming!
