Has anyone ever entered a pond skimming event ?
I am very tempted to do one this weekend at TAOS closing day.
My main concern is how my boot liners will do after most likely taking a full immersion in icy water.
Wish i had some old boots i could use but what do you guys think ? will they ever really dry out and not smell bad forevermore ??

Did one a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get wet though!
Go fast, bend your knees and focus on the snow on the other side of the pond, you'll be across no problem.
Should you go in the drink, whip your liners out immediately and get them drying in the sun. They'll dry out eventually.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@MagSeven, all very well unless you need to ski back from Les Arcs 1600 to 1950...
Unless you fall your boots won't get too wet. In any case they should be fine by next season:) Try not to lose too much speed and look across the pond.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Rent the fattest most rockered powder skis you can

@Arctic Roll - what a treat!
We remember that particular pond well!
The video clip shows the problem - go fast which means no turning..., bend your knees, keep the skis close together but as soon as you hit the water - which you need to do with both skis dead flat - lean back slightly and focus on the snow at the end. No leaning forward! The water grips as you hit it so be prepared.....

Also be prepared for your exit from the pool, this guy thought he was home a dry.
