Cardboard Box Derby and Dummy Race
March 9, 2013
Dummy Race starts at 3pm, followed by the Cardboard Box Derby
Come join us for the 4th Annual Winter Carnival Cardboard Box Derby. Watch as cardboard artists and mechanics turn little more than cardboard, paper, tape, glue, and string into the most creative sculptures that you can think of like dragons, race cars, UFO's, and other themes. Promote your business with a one of a kind creation!
Test your creativity by constructing a cardboard craft able to swoosh down the ski hill carrying you and your team members. The rules to building your craft are simple: constructed solely of cardboard, sonotube, paper, glue, tape, and string. Sponsors names must be printed somewhere on the craft.
Judging:
This is not a race! There are no points for speed. A panel of judges will rate each craft for originality, costumes, and construction. Of course you also need to finish with all your team members on board.
Your cardboard vehicle may be simple or complex with up to 4 adult (or 6 under 18 yrs of age) pilots to maneuver down the ski hill. Remember the more creative your craft the better your chances for winning. Group entries are encouraged: local businesses, bars, restaurants, motels, ski shops, coworkers, etc.

2nd Annual Dummy Race
Heineken Winter Carnival Ski Dummy Race in conjunction with the Paper Box Derby March 9th 2013
Here is how it works. You make a Dummy on skis (or a snowboard) and bring it to Hunter Mountain. We take the Dummy up the slope for you. When it’s your Dummy’s turn, we let it go and see how straight, how far, and how fast it makes it to the finish line!
Prizes:
A $50 Hunter Mountain gift card will be awarded to the first place Dummy in three categories: Most Creative, Best Time or Longest Run, and Best Crash.
Now that we’ve peaked your interest, do you think you have what it takes? Just follow the rules listed below and give it your best shot!
Rules:
- Dummies must be at least four feet tall, and have four or more limbs.
- Dummies cannot weigh more than 100 lbs.
