Vermont Guides

Spring weekends include some of the best events of the season where goggle tans and t-shirts are the outfits of choice as we enjoy spring's soft snow, longer days and sunshine. Try not to take a dip during the 2025 Pond Skim at Stratton on March 30, 2025. The pond is back as participants try to skim across the water's surface and make it out the other side just as dry as they entered.

Come ready to skim the pond on your skis and snowboards, dressed in your favorite costume. Multiple winners will be judged on Best Costume, Best Crash and Best Skim. An event that is just as fun to watch as it is to enter, join us to see who sinks, and who skims.

Participants must check in at Guest Services before the start of the event for bibs and t-shirts.
