From SwitchWindham.com ....

"We're planning a huge rail jam for May 27. We're going to move all the snow we can find to one spot so jibbers can have one more day to grind it up. And best of all, it's FREE to participate."

i personaly will not be there, but im sure it will be a good time

Like crazy little squirrels preparing for winter, we've stashed away a big pile of snow to use for a rail jam on Memorial Day weekend. Come on up for some jib action, music and food. How often can you break out your skis or snowboard when it's 70 degrees out and the mountain is completely green? 10am to 2pm, and best of all it's FREE!!!

got that right from www.skiwindham.com

Here's the weekly newsletter from Windham, on the upcoming rail jam. No word on what rails they will have sorry.

We have a ton of snow for the May 27th Rail Jam!

Windham Mountain is gearing up for its second annual "Endless Winter Rail Jam" which will take place Saturday, May 27 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The event is free to the public.

Shortly after Windham Mountain closed, the groomers stockpiled over 100 truckloads of snow and covered it in straw to preserve it. Now that the weather is warm and everything is green, it's time to put that snow to use.

Our groomers will shape the snow into a small terrain park to give the skiing and snowboarding faithful one last chance to get out on snow and grind boxes and rails.

The contrast of the mountain in full bloom and the white snow make for a unique visual and everyone who attends simply loves it.

Last year's Rail Jam was a blast and this year we have almost twice as much snow! We'll also have giveaways throughout the day from Rail Genie, Burton Snowboards and others.

Hope to see you there!
