Open to snowboarders and skiers--the age groups are different for Rail Jam than any other event: 9 and under, 10-13, 14 and older, Open class: separate groups for skiers and snowboarders, males and females. Register online now, it closes midnight Thursday. Or register with me in the Tramway Cafe 1:30-2 pm and pick up your bib. Contest will start at 3 pm and the jib line has been set by our friends in the Park Crew!

Sunday Jan 20 alpine racing on Race Trail. Open to snowboarders only. If you look at Big Alaska schedule at www.usasa.org you will see 4 events listed for Jan 20. Register online for the 2 that let you (total cost of $40) and the other 2 will be FREE. We will run Slalom 1 and 2, and reset for Giant Slalom 1 and 2. This Alyeska forced schedule change means that when you complete all 4 races you will probably be qualified for Nationals in these 2 events. It's a lot of runs in a day, so we'll take a hard look at how many people are in your age group and we may adjust the number of runs required depending on the snow conditions In person registration and bib pick up will be 9:30-10 in the Day Lodge with inspection as soon as the course is set, 11 am. Cost $40 for the day. Prizes for alpine events too.
