Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Is this the ultimate pond-skimming video?

Pond-skimming spectaculars are a traditional way of stopping the ski season at US resorts. This one just in from The Ski Channel (though it seems to have happened on 11 April) is a classic! It was staged at Big Sky.

Glen Plake pulls off a sweet trick, with no chance of a skim.

So impressed by the guy who hung on over -and out of - both ponds.

I agree. It's terrific to see that it was possible and it suggests that the layout of the ponds is based on past experience.

Glen Plake is such a fruitcake. Ballet-skiing on what look like 205s!

I've had the chance to do this twice in Switzerland and both times decided against it. I just could not bring myself to get THAT cold when, inevitably, I fell in the drink !! Great clip

Yeah, unfortunately I was out of town, but I had heard from my wife that the pond skimming was rather scary this year.
Things are quite laidback and laissez-faire in Montana; the Nanny State is not too big out here...yet.

I demand a pond at Hemel!

Done a splash contest (as it was known) at BUSC when it was roasting hot. Never underestimate the stopping power of several hundred snowballs thrown at you as you're on the descent ramp. Great fun.

Looks like Plake was using his new Dalbello Virus touring boots too!
