  • 25% Best Dressed/Creativity/Theme
  • 25% Biggest Air

Helpful Hints:

  • A low center of gravity; the more weight that is closer to the bottom the better (Remember: 70 lb weight limit)
  • Make the legs sturdy so the skis do not wobble, otherwise there is a good chance your dummy will tip over on the way down.
  • A wide base will also help keep the dummy upright.
  • Spectators will like a theme
  • Wax those skis/boards!
