Caution: Kat Crossing!

This weekend was the 20th Annual Lake Cushing Crossing at Squaw Valley. The goal is to ski down the hill, fly off the jump, land on the water, and ski across without falling in. Easier said than done! This year I dressed up as a Rodeo Clown inside a barrel, which was a cool prop but adds a lot of drag and makes it hard to get all the way across. But I made it! And I won 1st place for the female competition!!

Ready for take-off! Can you see how high the jump was this year?!



Release the landing gear...



Going...


Going...



Still barely hanging on!



Here's a better perspective on the size of the pond...



And she's across...whew!



High fives in the finish area!



And Kat the Clown is all smiles after a successful crossing!
