Big Sky Pond Skim 2014.

Some funny stuff here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFLSldebudw#t=123

Check out the young woman at ~1:45-2:00.  She's a big girl and came in with a really hot landing that they replay several times.  Fortunately, she did not appear to get hurt.  Next year they better build a longer and wider pond:-)

A-Basin is so high, that it doesn't even have a pond -- yet. It's a naturally formed thingy about half way down the Lenawee lift. Last year the pond didn't appear until June. It's called Lake Reveal

Here's a 2013 pic of it just starting on May 30

and another pic of Lake Reveal on June 8, 2013 (that's the West Wall run at the upper left of the photo -- as a point of reference).

A Basin pond skimming June 18, 2011 -- where many of the people actually got across Lake Reveal. This is one of the better pond skimming videos out there:

  soon there will be water..

Keystone did one on Closing day 2014, April 20. It's held on the Mountain House side of the mountain. Groomers bring snow down from Go Devil and Last Hoot to build the pond.
