Boyne Falls, MI - If you long for winter park riding, unpack the snowboards and skis and head to Boyne Mountain for the DNA Evolution Tour Rail Jam on Sunday, June 15, a day will be filled with competitions, music and industry pros with gear on-hand. Winners will advance to nationals and compete for a pro contract.

DNA’s rail jam will take place in Boyne Mountain’s parking lot adjacent to the Clock Tower Lodge. The footprint for this monster is 40 x 90 feet and its three rails will provide ample grinding space for six events ranging from Best Trick to the Main Event. Spectators and participants can ride for free during the Open Sessions scheduled from noon to 2 p.m.

The competition begins at 3 p.m. with one-on-one action, skiers against skiers, and snowboarders against snowboarders. Points are awarded and following three hours of intense rail jam competition, the top eight skiers and boarders

qualify for the Main Event to be held at 7 p.m. The ensuing awards ceremony recognizes the top Main Event skier and snowboarder and Best Trick and Female Trick contestants who advance to nationals held at the SIA Show at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada and compete for a pro contract.

“This is the first time DNA has brought their Evolution Tour Rail Jam to northern Michigan and we’re looking forward to a great day of competition,” said Dan Turcott with Boyne's events department.

All participants must wear a helmet and be at least 18 years of age or have parents on-site. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. the day of the event at Boyne Mountain’s Boyne Country Sports store. For complete information and pricing, visit www.boyne.com.

This sounds like a sizable event! I wonder if Boyne Resorts, which now owns my home mountain and another nearby, plans to do any of this around here?? Summer rail jams are actually pretty common here in Maine. A lot of times, the "snow" (FWIW) comes from ice shavings from regional ice arenas. If DS was anywhere near this region, he'd be there. In fact, he might well be....hmmmm....ya never know. He will do closing day/ceremonies at the Basin on June 8. Then I think he and ride/expense-sharing companion are "on the road again." Haven't seen him since MID-OCTOBER 07!
