The Duct Tape Derby at Mount Snow

The Duct Tape Derby has been a welcomed addition to the Bud Light ReggaeFest the last two years and in 2010 look for more sleds and more prizes. In 2008 and 2009 over 40 man-made sleds including a Log Cabin, Pirate Ship, UFOs, Mystery Vans, Jamaican Bobsleds, Firetrucks and the General Lee all entertained a crowd of thousands as they slid down our tubing hill.

This year start your planning early and save those cardboard boxes! Sunday we'll have a Pit Area in the main base area for some final touch ups before a judges panel will look over the sleds and judge them on creativity and design before we bring them up the hill to the "luge" for our contest.

This year we will award the prizes for the following categories:
1) Most Creative
2) Best Slider
3) Most Unique
4) Judges Choice
5) Mount Snow Employee/Departmental

Duct Tape Derby Rules:
1)All sleds must be registered through email to ducttape@mountsnow.com with the following information:
a) Name of your sled
b) Theme of your sled
c) Participants who will be sliding*

All those who will be in the sleds must sign an express assumption of risk form on site Sunday.

2) Sleds must be built out of cardboard, duct tape, paint and zip ties only. No other materials such as wood, skis, snowboards etc will be allowed. Sleds also must have NAMES!
