Pond skimming is one of the best activities invented by mankind. Take one of the best winter sports and combine it with warm-weather water activities and you get a party like no other. Honestly, name a better way to celebrate the end of a ski season. That’s why every resort seems to have a pond skimming competition.

Personally, I’m always in search of the most impressive pond skimming displays. Wild costumes, gnarly tricks, and unconventional ways of crossing the water. After watching this clip from Solitude Mountain Resort’s pond skim testing, I think the Solitude employee locker rooms might be one of the best places to look…

The backward skiing, the one footed skiing, the tricks, all of that is crazy. But the tele turns on the water? Now that’s something I haven’t seen before.
