Paradise Pond Skim at Sugar Bowl

Get ready for one of Tahoe’s most entertaining spring traditions. Sugar Bowl’s annual Pond Skim brings skiers and snowboarders together for a tropical themed, high energy showdown as they attempt to glide across an icy pond without taking a plunge.

Costumes are encouraged, crashes are guaranteed, and the crowd energy is half the fun. Whether you’re competing or cheering from the sidelines, expect a full day of laughs, splashdowns, and end-of-season celebration vibes.

The event is free for spectators and takes place near Nob Hill, offering easy access and prime viewing. Awards follow the competition on the Village Deck, wrapping up a classic spring day in the mountains.
