Red Bull Schneetag - Saturday, March 28
Snowmass Fanny Hill 2-4 p.m.

Schneetag is the German word for "snow day." Put simply, it translates as "daredevils willing to propel themselves down a hill, over a jump and across a pond on a craft they built themselves."

There were 12, Four-person teams that competed to be the smoothest sliders, best fliers and stylish floaters. With one person as the pilot and the others to help guide the team, this year's compilations of teams and crafts was quite the show! They were all competing for the grand prize of a VIP trip to a NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway as guests of Red Bull Racing. And the winner is...

1st place team winning a VIP trip to NASCAR at Texas Motor Speedway  - The Outlaws with Chris Marshall, Catherine Kuchar,
Meredith McKee and Jenny Marshall

2nd place team winning paragliding flights with Red Bull Air Force - The Marching Band with Ashley Rankin, Jesse Regan, Katie Oestrike and Leslie Ragan

3rd place team winning skis and snowboards from Salomon - I Got Worms with David Kline, Kiffor Berg, Anders Gustafson and Buck Erickson


 

Teams of four are invited to create a craft to slide down Fanny Hill and attempt to soar over a 50x20 foot pond. Each team performs a skit before their run and was  judged on their costume theme, creativity and flight distance of their craft.

The craft must be entirely human powered with no external energy sources. The craft must be less than 10 feet wide and weigh less than 400 pounds, including the pilot. Each team will pick just one member to fly their craft across the pond.
