Tropical Takeover Pond Skim

Who'll be surfing and who will just end up wet?

Grab your kids and come celebrate the Tropical Takeover pond skimming contest. This event is family friendly.

Action & Adventure Festival Family Friendly Mountain Resort

Our Tropical Takeover is a family friendly pond skim that celebrates all things fun with a big splash! 

Grab your best tropical costume, don your skis or boards and put your winter surf skills to the test as you attempt to glide across our specially made pond. Those that don't quite make it are in for a chilly dip! 

Our judges will award prizes from our friends at Flylow for:

Best Overall
Most Extreme Splash
Best Tropical Luau Spirit (costume).

This is a family friendly event and children are encouraged to enter. Must be 6 years or older. Ski Patrol will be poolside and in the water to assist anyone who doesn't make it across the pond.

Only 100 spots are available so be at the Guest Services desk early on the day to register. This event sells out. 

Not keen on getting wet? Join us to cheer on the competitors!

Don't forget to bring a towel and a change of clothes!!
