The Boyce Park ski and tubing area will close out the season with its annual Polar Bear Pond Skim event on Sunday.

The event, held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. March 10, involves participants wearing costumes, shorts and t-shirts or a swimsuit to try to skim across an icy pond on skis or a snowboard.

There will be food and Hop Farm craft beer available for purchase during the event.
