Annual Eskimo Escapades Shut Up & Ski

Every year, shivering water-skiers and wakeboarders brave the cold temperatures and jump into freezing water to raise money for charity in the Annual Eskimo Escapades Shut Up & Ski located in Knoxville, Tennessee. This is the largest winter waterskiing charity event in the United States.

Participants can water-ski, kneeboard, wakeboard, barefoot or tube around a half mile course while raising money to benefit The Dream Connection, which fulfills dreams of seriously ill children in Tennessee, and the Patricia Neal IRC, which provides recreational opportunities to individuals with disabilities.

More than $240,000 has been raised for charities over the years the event has been held. More information may be found at eskimoescapades.com
