With feet firmly strapped to skis or snowboard, 90 contestants competed on Saturday in the 2024 Rockstar Energy Drink Pond Skim challenge at Seven Springs Mountain Resort.
Contestants were judged on their skim abilities and on their costumes. Many wore colorful ensembles or dressed as popular characters as they attempted to cross over 90 feet of water without falling or submerging.
