Closing day festivities at Snowmass ski area on April 20 were highlighted by the Schneetag event, as teams attempted to float across a giant pond on a craft they had built.

Every team had a theme and performed a skit before they descended. Each team was judged based on creativity, skit performance, craft construction and success in riding the course.

Here are the results from the seventh annual Schneetag:

First place — Hans and Gretel featuring Jason Hartmann, Matt Hooks, Susan Muenchen and Pete Pelinski.

Second place — Hot Shots featuring Gloria Bouillon, Alex Waterman, Andrew Nerz and Erin Dwyer.
