With some warmer weather taking over, some skiers and snowboarders made a splash at Ski Snowstar in Andalusia, Illinois.

Sunday, March 8, 2015 was the ski hill’s sixth annual Slush Pit Splash where contestants skied and snowboarded down a hill into a pool of water. The goal was to try and make it all the way across, or as far as they could.

Some participants said it was more difficult than they thought it would be.

“It's different, because you would think you would actually go a lot faster than you do across the water but you don't. Once you hit the water you basically stop,” contestant Patrick Pray said.

Prizes were given to competitors with the best performance style, worst landing, and best costume.
