If this is all starting to sound a little bit arduous for your liking, then the annual Schneetag which takes place on 20 April in Spider Sabich, Snowmass, might be more up your street. All you need to do is grab a team of four people, get creative and mastermind a craft to see you down the hill, over a jump and gliding across a pond.

But in reality once you’re off that kicker in your man made sled, there’s absolutely no chance you’ll be skimming over any kind of pond. To make this event slightly more ridiculous, each team has to do a little ‘skit’ before their doomed descent into the icy pond.
