Schneetag - Saturday, March 27
Snowmass Spider Sabich 1-3 p.m.


Click here for the printable registration form for
2010 Schneetag!


Schneetag is the German word for "snow day."
Put simply, it translates as "daredevils willing to propel themselves down a hill, over a jump and across a pond on a craft they built themselves."

Last year there were 12, four-person teams that competed to be the smoothest sliders, best fliers and stylish floaters. With one person as the pilot and the others to help guide the team, this year's compilations of teams and crafts was quite the show! 

This year we are hoping to attract 20 teams! The information and registration info is linked above. Be sure to check out the video and photos as well! Here are the prizes for this year... 

1st place: A trip to X Games in Los Angeles

2nd place: Tickets from Bud Light to a professional sporting event in Denver

3rd place: Skis or snowboard from High Society


 



 



Teams of four are invited to create a craft to slide down Fanny Hill and attempt to soar over a 75x20 foot pond. Each team performs a skit before their run and was  judged on their costume theme, creativity and flight distance of their craft.

The craft must be entirely human powered with no external energy sources. The craft must be less than 10 feet wide and weigh less than 400 pounds, including the pilot. Each team will pick just one member to fly their craft across the pond.
