Think you’ve got speed, skill and precision? Put it to the test during our Snow Making Hose Rolling Contest. Contestants will roll a 50ft snowmaking hose as fast and as tight as possible.  This competition is open to everyone – no age division, registration and waiver required. 

How It works:
Participants will run down to the hose from the start line and begin rolling.  When finished you will run back to cross over the start line to finish.  Final score will be based on speed, tightness of roll and overall professional appearance.  Tips for competitors: A tight clean roll might beat a sloppy fast one so balance with precision and effort.
