Pond Skimming & Crazy Daze – Now on Saturday, April 3!!!
We are adjusting our spring event schedule in order to allow more people to participate in some our most popular spring events!
Pond Skimming and Crazy Daze will now be held on Saturday, April 3rd, with a new event, Snow Battle moving to Sunday, April 11th.
“We solicited feedback from several guests and discovered they were having to make hard choices between some of their favorite outdoor spring events,” said resort spokesperson, April Russell. “Shifting the schedule this way will allow more of our loyal visitors to enjoy what has become a very popular fun-filled day.”
The new date also puts the Pond Skimming and Crazy Daze events right at the end of Spring Break for many area families. It will now fall on the same weekend as the popular ‘Gimme A Break’ day, Sunday, April 4th, which features free lift tickets for kids 17 & under.
Crazy Daze has been a staple of Brundage Mountain’s spring schedule for decades, and this is the 4th Annual Pond Skimming event, which has quickly become one of the ski area’s most popular.
“We’re excited about the way this revised schedule will work,” added Russell. “We’ve got some action-packed events stacked up for the first two weekends in April.”
Upcoming weekend events include:
April 3 – Pond Skimming and Crazy Daze

Brundage Mountain plans to operate seven days a week through April 11th. As in recent years, the ski area will add as many “Bonus Weekends” as possible, operating Saturdays and Sundays beyond that date as long as snow conditions allow.

Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that I will be putting a post on my site for your spring time events. You can log on and add events yourself to the calendar.
Thanks

Are there any events happening the 17th and 18th now? Me and several of my coworkers have to take time off 18 days in advance and about ten of just lost pond skimming. It’s kind of a bummer to have the schedule change happen like this.

Hi Tyler –
Thanks for taking the time to write in.
I’m sorry to hear you won’t be able to come to Pond Skimming. We got a lot of feedback that interested people couldn’t come on the 17th because it conflicted with other popular events, and with our limited snow pack this year, we wanted to be sure that we had enough snow depth to build the pond properly, so we felt we needed to change the date. We haven’t made any decisions about an event for the 17 & 18th at this point, but we are certainly open to requests…what would you and your friends enjoy???
