Cardboard Box Race

Save your big cardboard boxes! You'll need them for Pleasant Mountain's 10th (nearly) annual cardboard box race.

March 8, 2025
1:00 pm
Main Slope

Please register your team (up to 4 people) for the race before 11.30 am at Guest Services. The Cardboard Box Race takes place at 1 pm on the Main Slope. Participants should meet at the Sugar Shack at 12:45 pm for judging. All participants must have a lift ticket or season pass and be wearing a helmet. A liability waiver must be signed for each race member. Parents or legal guardians must sign on behalf of all racers under the age of 18.

Rules: The bottom of your cardboard box must consist entirely of cardboard--no duct tape or plastic surfaces. The structure must be made of only cardboard and can not be reinforced or weighted in any way. All cardboard vehicles will be inspected to make sure they meet racing guidelines prior to racing. There are prizes for the best, most uniquely-decorated cardboard box. And of course the fastest team.

This year's theme is “The Golden Era." Rewind the clock to the ski days of yesteryear with your favorite retro onesie, your father's straight skis, and test your luck on the hill! Please note this event is weather-dependent.
