The contingent of snowboarding’s brightest will also feature luminaries such as Todd Richards, Andreas Wiig, Andy Finch and Hana Beaman as well as Tahoe locals Jamie and Joanie Anderson and is considered the most important professional snowboarding competition on the West Coast with a total prize purse of more than $200,000.
The action kicks off Friday night with defending Rail Jam champs from the past two years, Mike Casanova and Wyatt Caldwell, headlining a field of top jibbers under the lights in a Rail jam session. Action continues Saturday with the Slopestyle comp and caps off on Sunday with the Superpipe finals.
The event, which is free with the purchase of a lift ticket, and open to the public, is sure to draw a huge crowd to Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort. Those who are not riding or skiing can stop by the event office for a free gondola pass.
