PARK UPDATE

February 6th, 2012

What a great night for a Rail Jam! Saturday night we played host to our 3rd Rail Jam of the season in TELUS Park. The Jam took place on our brand new stairset courtesy of our friends at Deviate and Island Snow board shops. Tons of crazy tricks were thrown down on the rail and ledge from our large field of snowboarders and skiers. Thanks to One T apparel for donating some sweet toques and facemasks for the draw prizes.

The judges had their work cut out for them, trying to decide who would take home the cash prize in each category. In the end, there can only be one winner, see below for who took home the coveted spot on the top of the podium.

What an exciting weekend of Boardercross racing we just had in TELUS Park! The action was fast and furious as competitors from nine different nations battled it out on our custom built course. We were very fortunate to have a former world cup racer, Tom Velisek here to help us design and build our course for this event. Tom was super stoked to have the opportunity to help and ride the course as one of our forerunners. Tom has a long list of accomplishments in the world of Boardercross, even competing at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy.

On Saturday and Sunday we played host to two separate NOR AM races, giving riders double the opportunity to take home the gold, and earn even more FIS points. We saw quite a bit of snow fall from the sky this weekend, which makes for great freeriding, but it’s not what you like to see on race day! Thanks to our amazing and dedicated Terrain Park and Outdoor Events Crew, for shovelling their little hearts out to make both races happen.

Results:

Day One - January 28th

Day Two - January 29th

Thinking of getting in on the action? We are hosting a Provincial Series Boardercross from February 10th to 12th. This event is open to all ages, so come out and show your stuff on our Boardercross Course, who knows, you might even take home some gold!

What a great weekend we just had in TELUS Park! Saturday the park played host to the Rugged Riders Kinky Rail Jam. It was an all-female snowboarding event, designed for girls, by girls and did not disappoint! We had a huge turnout, with ages ranging from 12 to 30yrs coming out to style it up in the park. Gurls of all ability levels were given the chance to showcase their skills in our custom made rail jam area. There were three categories, beginner, intermediate and advanced. All the girls had the chance to win some great prizes! Check out the results below!

Sunday saw the long-awaited opening of our first ever staircase feature in TELUS Park. This custom made feature features a down rail, and a down box going over 15 wooden stairs. Big thanks to our good friends at Deviate and Island Snow board shops for building us this sick feature! This feature is definitely EXTRA Large, and is designed for advanced riders only, unless you happen to enjoy stair massages!
