As the snow starts to melt and the days get longer, Vermont's ski resorts know how to wrap up the season in style. Spring is packed with fun stuff like pond skims, spring concerts, maple festivals, and Easter sunrise services. Here’s a quick look at the coolest spring festivals happening in the Green Mountains to celebrate the end of ski season!
Join Bolton Valley for their first Pond Skim since 2015, along with their inaugural on-snow dual slalom mountain bike race. Enjoy skims, splashes, live music, food trucks, celebrity judges, and thrilling wipeouts.
It's the biggest event of the year at Okemo! The Slush Cup is back at the Clocktower Base from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Party, have fun, and take home some cool prizes. Stick around for their Spring Fling Après from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM and enjoy great live music.
Join Sugarbush for their annual Pond Skim event! Whether you get wet or spectate from the crowd, be sure to participate in this annual rite of spring.
Elvis, a gorilla, and even guys in bikinis—anything goes on the Practice Slope during our epic Pond Skimming event! Registration is free and kicks off at 10:00 am at the Smugglers’ Notch tent in Parking Lot 1, but it’s limited to the first 100 participants, so be sure to arrive early.
Spring weekends include some of the best events of the season where goggle tans and t-shirts are the outfits of choice as we enjoy spring's soft snow, longer days and sunshine. Try not to take a dip during the 2025 Pond Skim at Stratton on April 6, 2025. The pond is back as participants try to skim across the water's surface and make it out the other side just as dry as they entered.
Don’t miss Stowe's 1st annual Spring Bash with two days of free live music via the Toyota Mobile Music Den Unplugged stage, the Northeast Pond Skim World Championships, and more.
It's back! The annual spring Pond Skim returns to Killington once again. Join the party by spectating or participating—just try not to get wet!
