 Pagosa Springs' WinterFest seemed more like the real deal this past weekend when the Springs Resort on Hot Springs had its own mini X Games platform installed — for some pretty impressive Boarding and Skiing Stunts with a Jump and 2 Rails. The evening event was billed as "Slide & Soak" and was a new addition this year to the annual WinterFest celebration.
