2026 Sunsplash Funk Fest | Closing Weekend Bash

The weekend will begin on Saturday with the Dummy Downhill which will have teams create ridiculous contraptions to launch off at the base with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Registration is FREE

On Sunday we fill the pool for a Slush Cup competition prizes for best male, female, youth, fall and others. All money goes to GADSAR (Golden and District Search and Rescue) who will be in the pool helping retrieve you.

To close it all off there will be a patio party from 3-5pm at the Whitetooth Grill presented by Corona, with live beats provided by Naturalist.

Dummy Downhill | Saturday, April 11
The Dummy Downhill concept is extremely simple. Build something that can slide down the slopes over a jump and please the crowd with a massive crash.  A celebration of fine construction and total destruction!  Prizes will be awarded for best run 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and best looking.

Event Day Details:

• All dummies will be on display by the Trail Map at the base (next to the gondola).
• At 12:00 PM, we’ll begin transporting the dummies up the hill.
• The action starts at 12:30 PM, when we begin launching!

Important: A team member must be present at the launch area to release their dummy.

Slush Cup | Sunday, April 12
On Sunday, get ready to challenge the slush pool! The Slush Cup is a true test for well-seasoned springtime skiers and snowboarders.

The first brave soul will be taking on the slush pool at 12:30pm!
