Double Mountain will act as the new sponsors of the upcoming Double Mountain Pond Skim at Mt. Hood Meadows on Saturday, May 4, 2024. This exciting partnership will see Double Mountain bringing its quirky flair to one of Mount Hood’s most beloved springtime traditions. From 8am to 4pm, snowboarders and skiers aged 15 and older will gather on Mount Hood to showcase their skills by skimming across 100 feet of chilly water, vying for fantastic prizes and crowd cheers.
“We’re honored to support such a fun and thrilling event,” said Matt Swihart, owner and brewmaster of Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery, who will also serve as the Master of Ceremonies for Double Mountain Pond Skim, alongside Mt. Hood Meadows GM, Greg Pack.
Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as for the best splash, best costume, and best overall impression. Competitors are encouraged to exercise creativity in their costumes while keeping them family-friendly. Registration includes a commemorative towel and a complimentary pint for participants aged 21 and older. Additionally, $10 from each entry fee will be donated to the Special Olympics of Oregon.
Spectators are invited to gather in the base area to witness the excitement as costumed competitors attempt to conquer the water-filled challenge. The event will be complemented by music from DJ Kyle, adding to the festive atmosphere from 11am to 4pm.
The Special Olympics of Oregon (SOOR) Polar Pond Plunge will immediately follow the awards ceremony for Double Mountain Pond Skim. SOOR representatives will be on hand to register participants who want to take a plunge through the pond - all proceeds benefit Special Olympics.
