A hot dog and a canoe, they’re just a couple of the creative costumes used to make the icy jump across a pond of water at the 2017 Slush Cup.
The event is into its third year at the Edmonton Ski Club and brings out dozens of eager participants and guests.
“It’s an event where you dress in a costume,” Saunders explained. “You start at the top of the slope and fly down the hill across a six-foot jump into icy-cold water.”
Those taking part in the daring drop are judged in categories including “most dry across the pond” and best costume.
The event included a BBQ and lessons for young skiers and snowboarders.
Global’s Margeaux Morin helped judge this year’s event.
