During the winter months, the Yellowstone Club
employs somewhere near 700 people to manage the roads, lifts, lodge, ski hill,
and infrastructure. As part of the employee
appreciation day celebration, a “pond skimming” competition is held at the base
of the ski hill. Everyone is welcome to
enter the competition. The idea is to
ski or ride a snowboard down the lower part of Pioneer run and then skim across
a pond of water created for the event. Many
of the skimmers wear costumes. Some make
it across the water. Most do not. Everyone, including the spectators near the
pond end up at least a little wet.
I am posting four photographs from the competition
held two days ago. The temperature at
the time of the event was about 60 degrees.
Note: the girl in the pond in this last photograph was wearing a trout costume.

Was that somebody trying to fish in the last photo?
ReplyDeleteYep. The girl in the pond was in a trout costume!
