Pats Peak Pond Skim Contest To Run On Saturday, March 18, 2023

Pats Peak, New Hampshire's premier snowsports destination, announces its annual Pond Skim Contest on Saturday, March 18, 2023. This event is for spectators and participants as participants try to ski or snowboard across a man-made pond without falling in. Some make it across the pond but many make a splash and take the icy plunge. The judges hand out prizes for Best Costume, Best Splash and Best Skim. 

Pond Skim Registration is from 8:30am to 11:30am outside the Valley Lodge with the event starting at 1pm. The entry fee is free but the purchase of at least a Valley Area Lift Ticket or Pats Peak Season Pass and a costume are required to enter the contest. Entry is limited to the first 100 participants. 

“Every year our skiers and snowboarders look forward to this fun spring event. There are lots of cheers and laughs around the pond. We always love the costumes that they come up with for this event, says Sarah Demmons, Pats Peak Events Director.

Now is the time to buy a 2023/2024 Pats Peak Season Pass at the lowest rate. Purchase on or before April 16, 2023 for the 2023/2024 season for these rates. New Season Pass Holders can purchase their 2023/2024 pass in March and ski/ride through the Month of March 2023 FREE plus ALL of the 2023/2024 season.
