Those Wacky Alaskans....

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

So here in Alaska, we do some crazy things to tolerate the winters, such as the Slush Cup. In this event, contestants ski down a hill and off a jump, onto a 100-foot long pool of frigid water, the goal being to get to the other side. Some of the costumes this year were quite hilarious. In the video, you can see Hamburglar trying to make it across, as well as Borat, a Mrs. Doubtfire clone, and others. Tis quite amusing.

I thought about entering that this year, I have an awesome airplane costume that I made for Snakes on a Plane

I should try that before I move out of Alaska.

Is there lots of drinking involved?

LOL @ the skier who does a flip & a face plant.
I used to live in AK back when I was 5. Pretty nice place from what I remember of it. Although having to go to bed when it was broad day light (but 10pm ) did upset me a few times.
