The 14th annual Dummy Downhill returns to Diamond Peak on April 6.

Participants build a dummy on skis or snowboards that get launched off of a big jump, while spectators watch as the unique characters fly down the hill or crash hard.

The Dummy Downhill is open to the public and there are no registration fees. Dummies need to be at the base lodge by 11am to be judged on creativity, with the jumping and awards ceremony to follow. Prizes and certificates will be awarded for creativity, best crash, and farthest distance.

Participants may register their dummy online or by emailing the names of the team captains and dummy names to info@diamondpeak.com. Onsite registration will be available on the day of the event from 9-11am on the Base Lodge Deck.

Incline Elementary School is participating as part of a class project to introduce kids to engineering.
