This event is also free to the first eight teams who register in the morning from 9am–10:30am on the Gondola Deck. This single elimination style contest will prove which team rules the Spring It On Pond.
Diamond Peak - Dummy Downhill
The 16th annual Dummy Downhill is on Saturday, April 2nd, 2016! Participants build a dummy on skis (or a snowboard) that gets launched off a big jump on Show-Off and spectators can view the action from the Base Lodge Deck. This wacky event is fun for the whole family. Dummies must be at the base lodge by 10am to be judged on creativity. Dummies cannot be live and must weigh less than 75lbs. Team captains should be present to help load the dummies after they have been judged and unload at the top of the jump. The jumping will be followed by an award ceremony on the Base Lodge Deck and live music by local band, Owen Big.
