We had a couple of opportunities where the snowmaking weather was optimal, right around the -10\u00b0C mark and no wind. Man-made snow holds up so much better than natural snow and it has carried us so well into the spring season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This fun-filled day was a way for the Muskoka Ski Club, which owns the ski hill, to say thank you to their dedicated members and season pass holders for their support.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Events like the Puddle Jump are a great way to celebrate the season and have some fun, and to have nice sunny weather is a real bonus! Especially for those who are going to try and cross the pond,&#8221; added Payne.<\/p>\n<p>HVHSA&#8217;s Operations staff build the pond each year. It took this year&#8217;s crew \u2014 Outdoor Operations Manager, Chris Thomson, and brothers Derek, Ian and Graham Pascoe, affectionately known as \u2018Team DIG\u2019 \u2014 about 24 hours to shape, line and fill the pit for this event.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-46425 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/03\/Puddle-Jump-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/03\/Puddle-Jump-1-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/03\/Puddle-Jump-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/03\/Puddle-Jump-2-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Many of the brave skiers and boarders came across the ice-cold puddle with ease, some with smooth sailing while others had a rough ride.
