WEST DOVER, Vermont -- The annual Bud Light ReggaeFest, featuring live bands all weekend and two crowd-pleasing events, is coming to Mount Snow March 27 – 29.

The Sink or Skim pond skimming competition, a notoriously crowd-pleasing event that dares costumed skiers and riders to skim across a 150-foot manmade pond, will start Saturday at noon. It is free and open to the public, with registration for competitors taking place in the Main Base Lodge 10 – 11:30 a.m., day-of. Among those who successfully make it across the pond, one will be chosen by judges as the overall winner of a 2009/2010 season pass.
Sunday afternoon is the second annual Duct Tape Derby. Open to the public, the Derby requires entrants to race against the clock in a sled built solely of cardboard, zip ties, duct tape and paint. Those interested in competing should email the theme, style and general size of their sled plans to ducttape@mountsnow.com.
More information about registration and schedules can be found at www.mountsnow.com.
Mount Snow is currently taking reservations for its special ReggaeFest lodging package, starting at $143.00. Valid March 27-29, 2009, it includes Friday and Saturday night lodging with a 1 or 2-day weekend lift ticket, plus free admission to the Giant Panda show at the Snow Barn Friday night.
