POCONO TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Call it an end-of-winter celebration in the Poconos. Dozens of people put on their skis or snowboards on Saturday and took part in Camelback's Annual Pond Skim.

The ultimate goal was to avoid falling and making a splash while navigating a 90-foot-long stretch of water.

Celebrity judges like 28/22 News Reporter Sydney Kostus sat on lounge chairs and scored the snowboarders and skiers.
