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, and more.

Dummy Details & Registration

Dummies must be at the Base Lodge by 10:00 a.m. to check in and then be judged on creativity. Dummies cannot be live, have pyrotechnics and must weigh less than 75 pounds. Dummies, songs and costumes must be family-friendly. Team captains should be present to help load the dummies after they have been judged and unload at the top of the jump. The jumping typically begins around noon and will be followed by an award ceremony on the Base Lodge Deck.

Register dummies online in advance. Registration typically opens in February.
