On Monday, Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort had its last day of the season. To celebrate this properly, they staged their annual North American Pond Skimming Championships.

This has to be one of the funnest outdoor events this area has to offer. Semi-nude people in crazy outfits attempt to cross a 38F degree pond in the snow by board or skis. The prize is a season ticket for next year on the mountain.

Some make it. Most of them don't. And then the crowd can either break out into disappointed "Ahhhh"'s or jubilant "Yeahhh!"'s.

But what am I telling you about it? Go see for yourself!
