Park City, UT – In 2011, Canyons Resort in Park City hosts its fourth annual Spring Grüv, 10 days of events, concerts and contests.nThe ever popular Pond Skimming kicks everything off this Saturday, when contestants will dress up in costumes and attempt to ski or snowboard across a 100 foot pond. There are prizes for people who make it across the pond, best costume, and best trick. A free concert by Los Lobos will follow the Pond Skimming in the Resort Village. Registration can be found online at www.thecanyons.com/events.html?textid=169 and is open to the first 100 applicants.

Also on the schedule is the Red Bull Schlittentag on Saturday, April 2. Schlittentag is the German word for “sledding day.” Three-person teams of daredevils will propel themselves down a snow-covered hill and over a jump on a sled they built themselves. One will be the pilot and the two others will help give their sled the push it needs to win the race.
