Rundown of a Rail Jam

JP Fabio won a helmet for hardest fall due to an injury on his way to finals; the Ski & Ride Club disqualified him from the finals as a safety precaution.

Fabio was caught up between the two boxes while doing a trick onto the second box causing him to smash against the box. Fabio was down for a few minutes before he came to his feet and watched the rest of the event.

On Feb.11, the Campus Activity Board put on a rail jam at the glacier. With bystanders all around LSC students shredded the boxes that the Ski & Ride Club had set up to show off their skills and go for the win.

According to LSC student and Ski & Ride Club executive board member, Wes Miller, CAB understood there is a high demand for rail jams on campus and that a large amount of students wanted to participate in these kinds of events. With the winter weekend events going on, CAB thought it would be a great idea to add the rail jam to the list of events going on. CAB recognizes, with the Ski & Ride Club still under sanctions, that this would be a great opportunity for Ski & Ride to rebuild their reputation and show responsibility.

Miller said, "it went really well considering having such a weak season. It was a great come out, and considering the current position the club was in, it was a great indication of things to come in the future."

Nicholas Trotto won the ski event with James "Wildcat" Amodeo placing second, and Tim Pearson coming in third. For snowboarders, the winner was Sam Pierog, with Austin Baxton in second, and Kyle "Sunny" Mecham fallowing in third.

Trotto said he was really happy the school put on the event, "and I'm stoked to see my teachers here watching me, like I shredded with my RHD, like what!"
