Raging Elk Dummy Downhill 2023
A highlight of Fernie’s winter Griz Festival! Strictly for fun, this competition features imaginative & hilarious “dummies” on skis launching themselves off a gigantic jump beside the Timber Chair.
The dummies can be created from various materials, and creativity is stressed. They are judged on their construction, creativity, theme, the distance they fly off the jump and the carnage factor when they land.
Prizes are awarded for the best construction, theme/name, disintegration, flight, and more! Plus, there is a special prize for the dummy that raises the most donations for Angel Flight!

- No living cells are allowed in the race.
- No remote controls or human contact with the dummy is allowed after launch.
