The Whitefish Pond Skim
Come and end the season with the best end of season throw down around! Please select 'read more' for full event details.
SPECTATOR INFORMATION
The Pond is at the Lift Plaza, right by the bottom terminal of Chair One from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
Whitefish — you crushed it the last two years!
Not a single snowball thrown! Everyone loves the Pond Skim, and we all want to keep this awesome spring tradition going for years to come.
This a community event that is all about fun and good vibes, but it also needs to stay safe for both spectators and participants. We need your help to keep it that way:
1. Don’t throw snowballs.
2. If you see someone throwing them, kindly remind them the event will be stopped or even cancelled. Nobody wants that to happen.
Let’s keep this Whitefish favorite alive — no snowballs, just good vibes!
You do not need a lift ticket to watch the Pond Skim!
