Double Mountain to Sponsor

Mt. Hood Meadows’ Pond Skim Event

We are excited to share the news that we are the new sponsors of the upcoming Double Mountain Pond Skim at Mt. Hood Meadows on Saturday, May 4, 2024! This exciting partnership will see us adding our quirky flair to one of Mount Hood’s most beloved springtime traditions. From 8am to 4pm, snowboarders and skiers aged 15 and older will gather on Mount Hood to showcase their skills by skimming across 100 feet of chilly water, vying for fantastic prizes and crowd cheers.

“We’re honored to support such a fun and thrilling event,” said Matt Swihart, owner and brewmaster of Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery, who will also serve serve as the Master of Ceremonies for Double Mountain Pond Skim, alongside Mt. Hood Meadows GM, Greg Pack.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as for the best splash, best costume, and best overall impression.

Spectators are invited to gather in the base area to witness the excitement as costumed competitors attempt to conquer the water-filled challenge.

The Special Olympics of Oregon (SOOR) Polar Pond Plunge will immediately follow the awards ceremony for Double Mountain Pond Skim. SOOR representatives will be on hand to register participants who want to take a plunge through the pond – all proceeds benefit Special Olympics.

Join us and Mt. Hood Meadows for an unforgettable day of adventure and excitement at Double Mountain Pond Skim on May 4, 2024. It promises to be a good time!
