Jim Quinn, who was dressed as Mr. Incredible, has competed in the event three years in a row. His favorite part is seeing the cheering crowd.
“Just the culture of the event, how great a day it is, and how everyone turns out for it, they do a great job here at Park City Mountain,” he said.
“I think it’s super cool seeing all the fun costumes. It’s super fun,” 12-year-old Avery Burke said.
