APRIL 2010
4.2.10 - 4.4.10 Kirkwood Jammin' XVII
The biggest and longest running Spring Break Party in Tahoe is back! Kirkwood Jammin' XVII is about to get wild... Check out the list of events, then get ready to spend the weekend with us, April 2 - 4. Events will be happening every day near the pond and the Plaza from 11am to 2pm - you can't miss us with our lifeguard tower and giant pond!!!
WALK THE PLANK - Having an argument with your pal during Jammin? Take it to the pond with our daily jousting battle at 11:00am! Grab your choice of weapon - pool floaties galore - and then duke it out. The guy or girl left standing will win some rad Kirkwood swag!
POND SKIMMING - Every day at high noon, we'll be throwin' it down at the pond. Bring your best costume for this fabulous tradition and don't forget a towel - you may get wet!!! Make it across the pond and score some awesome Kirkwood swag.
JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO - All three days of Jammin' at 1:00pm, the average Joes of the crowd will have an opportunity to show off their better-than-average skills in this fun gauntlet-style competition! Start up the hill from the pond at the bottom of the Chair 5 park... Choose from a rail or small kicker to hit, then get yourself to the edge of the pond. Click out of your bindings, then run across the plank over the pond while some of Kirkwood's finest send flying objects your way. If you make it across the plank without getting taken out by a flying dodgeball, you'll win a couple of lift tickets to The Wood!
JAMAICAN BOBSLED CHALLENGE - On Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm, we invite all inspired sled builders to show off their skills at the base of Chair 5! Now's your time to begin... Start collecting materials to build your sled, and then find your best blow up driver to man it! Sorry, no live animals or humans can drive the sled - drivers must be inanimate family-friendly objects. All decorations on the sled must be securely attached via staple or nail (tape won't hold), and sleds must meet inspection before the race. Prizes will be awarded to the most original sled and best crash.
4.11.10 Soup and Shoe
Enjoy a fun, guided snowshoe hike along the crest of the Sierra... Complete with lunch! Guides will provide soup and bread at the rest stop along the way. $35. Rentals available for an additional $5.
