82nd ANNUAL SLUSH CUP

The ski and snowboard season will officially come to an end with our annual "Sunshine Slush Cup". This is one of the best spring events in North America which features wild and crazy individuals who brave the jump into the slushy cold water. The goal is to try and make it across the water but very few make it but it is a blast to watch them attempt to do it.

All participants are encouraged to wear costumes as it really impresses the crowds and our panel of judges who will add points to your jump! Prizing will be awarded to the one individual who can make the jump or has the best attempt. There will also be prizes for Awesome Air, Best Bellyflop, Excellent Enema and whatever else may happen that day! There will be a change for entries this year as we want to see more women participating! We have allocated 20 spots just for women and the remaining 40 will be for men.

You don't think you are ready for the Slush Cup challenge just yet? Well that's okay cause we want you to be a part of the event and help cheer on our participants and help the judges select the winners! You will have an awesome time as a spectator. Make sure to get to Sunshine early so you can secure the best seats in the house as they go fast!

Registration for participants will take place at 8:30am outside of Trappers on the other side of the pool. Look for the registration sign and the Sunshine Village Tent. Anyone who is 18 years of age or older can enter and you must have your PHOTO ID. All entries are on a first come first serve basis and you cannot register prior to event day.
