Random question, and a bit early, but does your ski area have a rad pond skim? If so, let me know. I'm compiling a list for Powder. If not, damn, that sucks. Hopefully you have a good park.

Big Sky, MT has a crazy one. I think there was an online article on Freeskier about it. Video:

Also, Big Mtn (Whitefish Mountain Resort), MT has a pretty good one as well.

There is the Aqua-Neige in Val d'Irene, Quebec. It's 65 meters long and it's awesome. Also you get to party with real quebec rednecks on saturday night, Things usually get very rough haha.

Hunter has one. Stratton has one. I think Campgaw does but they might not any more and it's a worthless shit-small mountain.

Mount hood meadows does one that's decent size, some guy proposed to his girlfriend sliding across the water in a James Bond tuxedo, shot the "bad guys" that were holding his girlfriend hostage, and bam, made it all the way and proposed. So it's pretty cool hahaha, I've never done it

Mammoth has a pretty good one unfortunately they limit the amount of the people that can sign up. It's pretty long and legit though people dress up and kind of send it but at the very least its super legit
