Annual Cushing Crossing – Olympic Valley – 2024

We had a good winter, and March delivered a lot of snow to the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area!

While Palisades Tahoe in Olympic Valley will continue to having skiing through Memorial Day weekend, the 32nd annual Cushing Crossing event will be held Saturday, May 11, 2024!

Get ready to have some real laughs, along with being impressed at those that will attempt the ^32ndAnnual Cushing Crossing-Olympic Valley – 2024, today, Saturday, May 11, 2024.

I’ve been to this pond skimming event several times and it is one crazy, fun etime that everyone enjoys watching.

Skiers and snowboarders ski down the hill, in creative costumes that they have put together, and attempt to skim across Cushing Pond.

This is a contest and participants are awarded for their outrageous costumes, along with how far and well they skim the pond.

There are some great prizes, along with bragging rights, which will bring out the best in those that participate in this event.

Some contestants will make it across the pond in style, while others will crash with a big splash and sink into the pond water.

It’s fun to see how the judges score each participant.

Each contestant will receive points for costumes, originality, style, and of course how they skimmed the pond, and if they made it across the pond.

You will find yourself cheering and laughing as the participants give it their all at this spring event!

Our temperatures for Saturday are expected to be in the mid 60’s with clear blue sunny skies, so dress accordingly.

While there will be some seating that is already set-up, from past experience, I recommend bringing along your own camping chairs so you are guaranteed to have comfortable seat in a spot where you can see the participants.
