why is the snowboarder dressed in a bunny suit?

He was trying to win a trip to Hawaii.

Last weekend Ben and I went to Mount Hood Meadows to ski and watch the Sno-Kona Pond Skimming Competition. First prize was a trip to Hawaii.

Here's another bunny suit skiing down the hill...

and a competitor skimming across the pond.

Chicken costumes and bikinis were popular costume choices as well... the most popular- Octa-Mom!
