Dummy Downhill at Diamond Peak

Join us for the 23rd annual Dummy Downhill on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Participants build a dummy on skis or snowboards that gets launched off of a big jump, while spectators get to watch as unique characters fly down the hill or crash hard. This is Diamond Peak’s signature spring event and the biggest party of the year. Even non-skiers will want to come watch the madness! A panel of celebrity judges will evaluate all Dummies on the snow by the Base Lodge, followed by the dummy launch and an awards ceremony. Prizes and certificates are awarded for creativity, best crash, furthest distance, shortest distance, survivor, and new for 2025 most sustainable.

New prize category for 2025 is the Sustainability Award, judged by IVGID Waste Not. Dummies will be graded based on these criteria: incorporation of recycled materials, reduction or elimination of plastic elements, minimizing litter produced upon crashing, and overall sustainability messaging. Waste Not also has a collection of used skis if you need some for your dummy please call them at 775-832-1284.
