The Original Pond-Skim Event will take place on May 20
Get ready to make a splash! Palisades Tahoe, CA, is excited to announce the return of the 31st Annual Cushing Crossing pond-skimming event on May 20 at 1 pm, weather and conditions permitting. Due to the record-breaking 714 inches of snowfall received this year, Cushing Pond melted at a slower rate, leading to a delay in the initial date of the event.
The Cushing Crossing is the original pond-skimming contest and is widely regarded as the best event of the spring season. Join us for a day of fun, laughter, and spills as participants attempt to ski or snowboard across a pond of freezing water 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. Plus, there will be an awards ceremony immediately following the event at Cushing Pond. Category winners will receive prizes from our sponsors, including Yeti, Smith, Phunkshun Wear, Dakine, and Darn Tough. The overall winner will receive 2023/2024 Ikon Base Pass, GoPro Hero 11, and $500 cash. After the awards ceremony, check out the live music from DJ Funksalot at the KT Base Bar.
“We’re thrilled to bring back the Cushing Crossing event for its 31st year. It’s always a highlight of our spring season and a great opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the end of winter in a fun and unique way.”
– Kristen Costa, Events & Sponsorships Senior Manager
So come on out and enjoy the festivities! To register as a participant, please head to Wildflour at 7 am, the day of the event. The registration fee is $20, cash only. Admission to view the event is free, and everyone is encouraged to dress up in their wackiest costumes. We hope to see you there!
