WATCH: ‘Dummy Downhill’ event brings the ski resort’s season to a close

A ski resort in British Columbia marked the end of the season with its annual Downhill Dummy event, which sent 13 faux skiers careening down the slopes.

According to Apex Mountain Resort, 13 fake skiers created by staff and local people hit the slopes over the weekend, resulting in some spectacular crashes.

“It’s the highest flying dummy downhill in the world that we know of, because it goes off our aerial site, no other dummy down hill goes off an aerial site. So these dummies are literally 60 to 70 vertical feet in the air before they crash land,” Apex Mountain Resort general manager James Shalman told Castanet.

According to Shalman, roughly 500 people turned up to see the spectacle.

“It’s always fun to do an event at the last weekend of the season. Last year, we couldn’t really do it with COVID. We didn’t want to have an event that created so many people so close together. So after a little hiatus, the dummy downhills back very well attended and loved by all,” he said.
