Spring arrived early Sunday morning at 12:30 EDT, just in time for the folks at Wintergreen Resort to close out the ski season with their annual Splash & Dash (known as Pond Skimming to the veterans). The event is held each year around this time as a fun way to move into the warmer days ahead. The 2016 event had a record 62 contestants, and yes, some of them made it across!
