Vail Snow Daze 2008 Rail Jam Recap

It was a cold evening in Vail Colorado for the 2008 Vail Snow Daze Rail Jam, With activities beginning shortly after 4 pm there was a great deal to see at this contest. The field was split into Amateur and Pro with the winners of the am division getting a shot to shread with the hot shots. The beginning of the event was a great show the amateur guys and gals killed it out there. As seen below Beaver Creek local Ben “Bennie” Hernreich cleans the dub-kink down flat down to catch the judges eyes.

and after doing so was very stoked (also referred to as excited)

The Skiers were also destroying the features at this years contest seen below locals “Coop Dawg” and “Johnny Blaze”show their skills on the down flat down rail, sooo much steeze!!!

After an hour of the amateurs killing it it came to be that The Rodriquez Brothers stood atop the amateur podium and moved into the finals. Ricky Rodriquez was standing a lil’ taller than his little brother today as the box for 1st was about 4 inches higher than 2nd.

above are the before victory shots of Billy and Ricky Rodriquez the looked just as stoked after they killed it out there.

The pro division was dominated by local pro Andrew “Droid” Steward, who was flipping off the Y-Rail at the bottom of the course and pressing his board in to all sorts of crazy contortions before spinning like a top back down to the snow. It really was a sight to see last Wednesday night as a variety of really incredible riders went at it for the number one spot. these riders included John Spriggs, Pat Milbury, Dave Lesh, James McCotter, Rob Bak, and many many others.

Seen below Billy Rodriquez is “handing the key to the city” to Andrew Steward

Andrew steward ended up winning the contest and his share of the 3000 dollars up for grabs. The Vail Valley local says he is looking forward to the rest of the season - “I don’t care what happens as long as I get to shread” - Andrew “Droid” Steward

So how was YOUR season?

With just a handful of days left in March and only two weeks of season in April, visitors are leaving, and those of us who are planted here are getting excited about summer, and the sports we take up in lieu of snow shredding: hiking, biking, fishing, boating, bird watching, and view seeking just to name a few. Some locals find that the relaxed, glowing days of summer are preferable to the snowy, bleak winter days where snow no longer means that school is closed or work is skipped. Colorado is definitely its own brand of heaven around this time, and “summer vacation” for many, is this time after the season, in April and May, before the golden days really set in.

Yes you can! - go behind the scenes at Vail and Beaver Creek

Who’da thunk it? With intermediate ski/ride level and a lift ticket, you too can see Vail behind the scenes!

Go behind the scenes in Vail this Tuesday, January 29 through the Vail Symposium (click to buy online.) $40 gets you lunch and a “three hour tour.” Just kidding- it goes from 9AM to 3PM. A great day of skiing, a great lunch, and more about Vail than you ever wanted to know. Sound like fun? We thought so.

If you can’t make the above date for Vail, the same for Beaver Creek will go on February 26. Mark your calendars! and see ours for more information.
