Belleayre Terrain Park Jam Series
Crowds of people were on hand to watch nearly 100 fearless contestants compete in a Night Rail Jam under a full moon rising over Overlook Lodge. The level of talent was undeniably exceptional for the first event of the season. After a 1 ½ hour open jam session, three judges had a hard time cutting the field of freestylers, which included both men and women and participants as young as seven, back to twenty finalists. The judges congregated as the alternative-rock band Ratboy entertained the crowd while the Spacecraft Rabbit handed out stickers and swag and spectacularly crashed a snowboard on the hill in front of the lodge. Twenty finalists then jammed, jibbed and bonked for another session to decide the winners. After another hard deliberation, the judges decided and prizes and awards that were handed out in the Overlook Great Room included new skis and a new snowboard for the first place winners. RadX Sports was on hand filming so watch for the Belleayre Terrain Park Night Rail Jam coming soon to cable TV.

Dummy Race
Saturday March 29, 2008
Part of the Beach Party fun, the Dummy Race gives you a chance to flex your creative muscles! Build a "dummy" on skis or a snowboard and let 'er rip down the mountain...how fun is that? Your dummy can be just about anything...a person skiing, the Beast of Belleayre, a giant fish tank - you name it. Just make sure it sits on skis or a snowboard, then shove it off the starting line and watch it go! The winner is crowned based on creativity of the dummy, longest run, and most spectacular crash. Fair warning - take pictures before you launch, since the huge jump at the end of the course ensures your dummy won't be too recognizable at the end. Entry is free. Race starts at 1 pm behind the Longhouse Lodge
