Unofficial Pond Skim Attempt Goes Very Poorly

"The number one tip is to have an exit plan. Make sure the pond you're attempting to skim actually has an exit, whether it's snow or dirt, that you can reach and access on your skis or snowboard."

"The second tip is to lean back and keep your tips up. It's like water skiing, except with much less speed. If you lean too far forward, there's a good chance you'll faceplant or lose balance and fall in."

"If you've never done a pond skim before, it's probably a good idea to stick to official pond skims, not a random pond you found on your mountain. You don't know what's down there and you likely don't want to find out."

Pond skimming is a popular spring skiing tradition where participants attempt to glide across water. To succeed, skiers should have an exit plan to avoid falling in. Leaning back and keeping ski tips up is crucial for balance. Proper ski binding settings are important to prevent injuries during a wipeout. Beginners should stick to official pond skims at designated ski areas to ensure safety and avoid unknown hazards.
