Umass Amherst Rail Jam Dec 10th

Well I have graduated from Umass Amherst, however, my friend is putting this on. I tried to get this to happen for years and finally Jiminy Peak is going to help make it happen with their jibs. Here is some info on it:

Together we are putting on the first ever UMass Campus Rail Jam to benefit the Virginia Thurston Healing Garden, a non-profit charity organization for Breast Cancer awareness. The event will be December 10, 2010 from 4-8pm on the UMass Campus. Students as well as outside competitors can test out their skiing and snowboarding skills on rails and boxes typically found in a mountain terrain park. The competition will consist of an open session where points for tricks are awarded by a panel of judges. The top skiers and riders will then compete in the finals to determine the rail jam champion. Attendees will receive customized T-shirts and Hot Cocoa Cozies with a donation to the charity.

All in all sounds like it should be legit, I will not be there since I live in Colorado, but I would def be in attendance if I still went to Umass. Kind of pissed it took 6 years for the Ski Club to figure out how to make this happen. It will be right in the center of campus at the Campus Center on the stairs.
