With the arrival of April, we were busy enjoying spring conditions and capping off our season with our annual End of Season Rail Jam Presented by Arizona Iced Tea on Saturday, April 7th.  Skiers and snowboarders of all ages we're invited to The Arena for a Rail Jam to celebrate the great season and compete for prizes by the event's sponsors Arizona Iced Tea, Burton Snowboards and Van's. 

Nearly 100 people came out for the event with over 30, 15 & under competitors looking to throw down their best tricks and take home some sweet prizes.

So many prizes, and so much fun. Everyone was having a blast trying new tricks and enjoying the set-up which was perfect for this Rail Jam. Thanks to Stephen Ernst, there was variety in difficulty and the ability to get creative on some new features with tons of flow in the set-up. 

10-year old LJ Henriquez took home the top spot for the Under 15 category.

Each Heat was divided by categories like 15 & Under, 15+ and Female. Skiers and riders we're able to make friends with other competitors of their age and hang out with some of their life long friends!

 

Jon Koch took home the 1st place spot in 15 and over category with his style and creative take on the park. Here is his Fast Plant to 1-footed boardslide.
