Gather your items…

Just because you didn’t compete in the pond skimming event at the mountain doesn’t mean you can’t have one of your own events. Skiing on a pond can be done from practically anywhere, didn’t the skimmers know that before they ruined their boots?

Plus, you won’t risk falling into the pond mid-skim and have to crawl out of the man-made tarp puddle like a frantic kitten while yelling “someone get my skis!!”

This is simple. Follow the steps below for the ultimate pond skimming experience sans skis.

Put your ski boots on.

Secure your goggles.

Get a box fan and turn it on.

Sit in front of the fan.

Now crack open a beer, pour yourself a drink, make a cocktail.

Yell, “I can feel the wind! It’s just like the real thing!” into the fan.

Invite others over to turn it into a party.

Woah, you actually did it and now it’s a party? I was just joking but in that case, you deserve this drink.
