WEST DOVER, Vermont – The annual Bud Light ReggaeFest, featuring live bands all weekend and two crowd-pleasing events, is coming to Mount Snow March 27 – 29.

Five bands will be performing at two different locations all weekend.

Friday, March 27

·        "Giant Panda"  9:30 p.m. – 1 a.m. at the Snow Barn, $10 cover

Saturday, March 28

Sunday, March 29

The Sink or Skim pond skimming competition, a notoriously crowd-pleasing event that dares costumed skiers and riders to skim across a 150-foot manmade pond, will start Saturday at noon. It is free and open to the public, with registration for competitors taking place in the Main Base Lodge 10 – 11:30 a.m., day-of. Among those who successfully make it across the pond, one will be chosen by judges as the overall winner of a 2009/2010 season pass.

Sunday afternoon is the second annual Duct Tape Derby. Open to the public, the Derby requires entrants to race against the clock in a sled built solely of cardboard, zip ties, duct tape and paint. Those interested in competing should email the theme, style and general size of their sled plans to ducttape@mountsnow.com.
