""I think the fun they were having is the same fun we're going for. The videos show kayaks, people riding at the pond on each other's backs, they're all in jorts and bikinis. I almost feel like they did it even more outlandishly than we do.""
"Legend has it that back in 1928, two friends, Cliff White and Cyril Paris, were spring-skiing near Banff, Canada, when they came across small, natural pools and streams of snowmelt."
Pond skimming began in 1928 when Cliff White and Cyril Paris attempted to ski across natural pools in Banff, Canada. This playful challenge led to a trend that has grown in popularity and creativity. By the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Mt. Baker Slush Cup became a significant event, capturing the spirit of pond skimming. After a hiatus, the event was revived in the mid-2000s, continuing the legacy of fun and camaraderie associated with spring skiing.
