The pond is open!!!

A few weeks back, at the closing of Vail, I had a bunch of friends signed up for the pond skim... If you recall the weather came in that day, and the skim was postponed... I ended up taking one of the spots for someone who couldn't participate...

Well I have some links up on youtube. Take a moment to visit...
The skimming

The aftermath



But the story didn't start there... Every spring under the Lenaway lift, a pond opens. Today the pond was open...




























Here you can see someone skimming on camera!!! I've skied days at Arapahoe Basin in the spring with Harry (who visited the ER after the Vail event) skimming every run... That's where you learn skim.

There was a fair bit of carnage today. One fella skied down fast and just before entering jumped to switch. He only made it about 3 feet into the water before the cartwheel... A few others face planted, tipped over and just plain sank... It was all in good fun...

David, ski season isn't over... Let's head up and get a few skims in before the end of the season!
