Winter Sports with a Difference in France

If you don’t want to get wet, the way to do this one is to get up the greatest possible speed in the run up then launch yourself and ‘ski’ across the 12-meter swimming pool. If you are going fast enough, the theory is that you will get to the other side without getting wet. But with your skis on, you're at a slight disadvantage. I’ve tried to find out how many people make it and how many get wet but strangely can’t find that out. Oh well, it’s great fun.
