Make a Splash

Get wet, wild, and weird!
By Jillian Manning | March 5, 2022

This Saturday (March 12), Otsego Resort in Gaylord welcomes back Splashdown, the watery celebration that marks the transition from winter to spring. A full day of St. Patrick’s Day-themed activities will be happening around the resort, including live music, a costume contest, and Irish dishes paired with High Five Spirits beverages. But the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is Splashdown, when skiers and snowboarders attempt to make it across a slushy, sloppy pond by the River Cabin at the bottom of the resort’s back ski hills. What better way to end the snow-sport season? Splashdown begins at 1 p.m. and is free for spectators, with a $10 entrance fee for participants. (Sign up at MyNorth.com.) Whether you’re skiing or cheering, be sure to wear your favorite green gear in honor of St. Pat! Learn more at www.otsegoclub.com.
