(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Stand up paddle board enthusiasts Roxy Christensen and Chris Knoles take to the water at Bountiful Pond on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2018, in what has become a Halloween tradition for the 4th year in a row as they dress up as Jack and Sally Skellington from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. “We paddle year round but actually paddle more in the winter,” exclaimed Knoles, who carry the tradition on at Christmas, dressing up in something festive and paddling on the Great Salt Lake where the high salinity usually keeps the water from freezing.
