Spring Fling and Pond Skim
dates not announced yet
Costumes, wipeouts, and the iconic pond skim to celebrate the meltdown. Live music, DJ sets, and apres parties fill the weekend, with the college crowd trading the beach for soft spring snow. Sunny, slushy, and loud in the best way.
Dates
Mid-March weekend
The resort has not announced the next dates. We post them in the Journal the day they land, and the email list hears first.
What to book ahead
In the order they run out. Tickets and passes are sold by the organizer or the resort, never by us, so the links go straight to the source.
