Pond Skimming & Crazy Daze – Now on Saturday, April 3!!!:

“We are adjusting our spring event schedule in order to allow more people to participate in some our most popular spring events!

Pond Skimming and Crazy Daze will now be held on Saturday, April 3rd, with a new event, Snow Battle moving to Sunday, April 11th.

‘We solicited feedback from several guests and discovered they were having to make hard choices between some of their favorite outdoor spring events,’ said resort spokesperson, April Russell.  ‘Shifting the schedule this way will allow more of our loyal visitors to enjoy what has become a very popular fun-filled day.’

The new date also puts the Pond Skimming and Crazy Daze events right at the end of Spring Break for many area families. It will now fall on the same weekend as the popular ‘Gimme A Break’ day, Sunday, April 4th, which features free lift tickets for kids 17 & under.

Crazy Daze has been a staple of Brundage Mountain’s spring schedule for decades, and this is the 4th Annual Pond Skimming event, which has quickly become one of the ski area’s most popular.

‘We’re excited about the way this revised schedule will work,’ added Russell. ‘We’ve got some action-packed events stacked up for the first two weekends in April.’

Upcoming weekend events include:

April 3 – Pond Skimming and Crazy Daze
