This weekend marks the end of the 2007/2008 ski season at Steamboat Ski Resort. Racking in at a groundbreaking 486 inches, Steamboat has had a champaign powder season. They will close the season with their first Springalicious Festival taking place April 5 and April 6.
The festival will include the 28th Annual Cardboard Classic, and new this year is the Splashdown pond skimming competition. Thee bands will also be featured throughout the two day festival; American Relay, The Radiators, and Susan Tedeschi.
What exactly is the Cardboard Classic you ask? Well it involves homemade cardboard crafts racing to the finish line. I would imagine that one might see some hilarious crashes which might make it worthwhile. There will be 50 crafts and the proceeds will be donated to Yampa Valley Recycles.
If you haven’t seen a pond skimming competition, you haven’t lived! From my experience watching pond skimming at Vail, I saw some of the craziest costumes including topless ladies. I think it would be awful skiing down the mountain half naked to then fall into a 30 degree pond, but for everyone else it’s one of the most entertaining ways that you can spend your weekend. Don’t miss the last weekend celebration at Steamboat Ski Resort.
