Raging Elk Dummy Downhill

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.  Dummies can be made from a variety of materials and creativity is stressed!  Dummies are judged based on their construction, creativity, distance they fly off the jump and the carnage factor when they land!  Prizes are awarded for best construction, best theme/name, best disintegration, best flight, best fundraiser and more!!!

Registration:
Entry to the event is a minimum $20 donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.  Dummy teams are also encouraged to raise pledges for their dummies as well. The team who raises the most money will win a fantastic prize.  Thanks to the amazing support of our sponsors, 100% of the entry fees go towards the Canadian Cancer Society.  Donations can be brought in cash to the check in on event day AND/OR you can pledge online by clicking here –  PLEDGE ONLINE
