Competitors in costume ski down the mountain then attempt to cross a 27-metre pond at the bottom.

At the Slush Cup competition in Girdwood, Alaska, skiers take on both snow and water all in one course.

Competitors in costume ski down the mountain then attempt to cross a 27-metre pond at the bottom. The winner receives a ski pass for the Alyeska resort, where the Cup is contested, for the following winter season.

The annual event, which has been running for 42 years, is a celebration of the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
