Pond Skimming

Any idea what this is?  Think of the hot-dog skiers from the 70's wearing hat's and swimsuits.  Yesterday, we decided to check it out first hand at Dollar Mountain.  Locals were lining up to see if they could ski, snowboard, or skim across a 50 foot pond.  Surprisingly, most made it but there were quite a few who didn't.  The sudden cold water had to be a shock to the system as a crowd cheers you on.  The costumes were in full force and Zach took some photos to document the fun.
