FYI folks, don't think that you have to be a park expert to come out. We have people from all park ability levels all the time.

For sure, if you have not made it out yet... this is the time. Things are dialed in at this point, and it should be a good turn-out.

Hello, Our next rail jam in on Saturday 11/15 starting at 5 PM. The new box is working great and we have had nothing but raves about it at the Halloween comp. Remember that our Thanksgiving comp is on Friday 11/26. Watch our website www.twelve60.com for more information on when our last jam of the season will be... it all depends on the weather. Congratulations! to the winners of the 2008 Halloween Jam/Comp: Snowboarder = (1) Nick, (2) Nick Skier = (1) Shawn, (2) Nick Female = (1) Lexie Youth = (1) Zach Many thanks to our sponsors: Crash-Pads, Sports Chalet, Mountain Creek, Red Bull, and Nestors.

The setup for the event will be the new box on the left and the 24' a-frame rail on the right. Practice and free-riding will take place from 4 PM to 6 PM, with the competition stating around 6 PM. We will have burgers, dogs, snacks, and soft drinks available on the deck for a small donation, and Red Bull will be on hand during the comp to "give you wings". Donations of $5 are required to attend with an additional $5 donation needed to compete. Prizes will be provided by Crash-Pads, The Sports Chalet, and more in the following categories: Best male skier over 14 Runner-up male skier over 14 Best male snowboarder over 14 Runner-up male snowboarder over 14 Best female skier over 14 Best female snowboarder over 14 Best skier under 14 Runner-up skier under 14 Best snowboarder under 14 Runner-up snowboarder under 14 (minimum of 3 contestants to create a category) We are also planning on a private screening of the new Level 1 production TURBO, sponsored by Nestors! The weather looks good for Sunday, lows in the low 30s and highs in the high 40s. We will be trucking in some snow to make the lips perfect for the evening. So come on out and bring some friends for a great time! If you are interested in learning how to slide rails and boxes on your skis or snowboard, we are offering lessons at 12 PM from PSIA and AAIS certified park and pipe coaches. A $25 donation is required and you must pre-register to attend.

Hello, Due to the horrible weather, the rail jam scheduled for today (October 25th), has been cancelled. Remember that our Halloween Comp is still on for next Sunday, November 2nd at 4 PM. Donation of $5 to attend and an extra $5 to compete. In addition, We will be offering park lessons that day starting at 12 PM for $25 (pre-registration required). Unfortunately there have been a few delays in the addition of the new box feature. The box is finished, we are now in the process of mounting it in the park. For this we will need a little help on Sunday and Monday of this coming weekend. On Sunday we need to dig (3) 4' holes in the ground to mount the adjustable legs. On Monday we will need help positioning the box and pouring the concrete. If you are interested in helping out, please get back to us. Of course you can bring your gear along to hit the rail after we do the work. Thanks PARK 1260

Thanks T, Jake and I have been working hard on making in professional grade. Good turnout tonight!!

Hello, We are having a rail jam this Sunday, October 19 at 6:00 PM. This event was themed "BOXTOBER" because our plan was to have the new box installed to have two boxes in operation. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the box will not be done for this event. So the setup will be the 20' box and the 24' rail. We will have the unfinished box on display to wet your appetite for the next few events. Remember our big comp jam is on Sunday, November 2 at 4:00 PM!! Later... PARK 1260

Good times, good turnout. It was nice to see some old faces as well as a bunch of new ones. Next jam is in 2 weeks, we are trying hard to get the new box done by then. If anyone has a line on some wholesale prices on industrial plastics, let me know. We are looking for a 4x8' or 4x10' sheet of UHMW either 3/8" or 1/2" thick. As always, we are in desperate need of wood chips... from one bag to 50 tons!

People will start showing up at around 5pm, we will not start the comp until around 7pm. Most people tend to show up late. Pretty much, yes. They are a lot of fun. Sliding on the carpet is different, but you get used to it pretty quick.... usually quicker for skiers than snowboarders.

Oh, also... if you are in the area and you have access to rink-snow or wood chips, try and bring some up. All donations from this event are going towards our new feature coming out later this month!

yeah, should be a good time... plus the weather looks pretty nice

Haha, I did not know you were on here... but I recognize those pants!

Hello Everyone, Unfortunately we will have to postpone the comp scheduled for this Sunday 9/21/8. This is due to a recently evolved schedule conflict.

Sorry for the confusion, this should read: Well, the "summer season" is finally over and it is time to start getting ready for winter. Our next rail jam is on September 7th.

Well, the "summer season" is finally over and it is time to start getting ready for winter. Our next rail jam in on September 6th. The theme of this event is "old school". Bring the oldest snowboard or set of skis and see if you can slide them on the features. I have a pair of old straight Olins that someone can borrow :-) Bring your friends, stay for a couple hours... get started on some new tricks for the 08/09 season. Check out www.twelve60.com for our event schedule.

Ahhh, what I could do with 4 triaxles of chips... We use wood chips on one of them, and the other we have a wooden ramp with carpet on it and then we can use ice rink snow to replace that one when we have it.

Switch Academy will be starting on 12/22/07. We are looking for skiers and snowboarders that have the ability to teach park and pipe to students of all abilities. We will be running an 11 week program on Sat and Sun from 10am to 3pm. We are also looking for coaches to work at the Burton Education Center in the South Lodge providing information on the park, as well as giving tips and help at individual features on the mountain. Part time or Full time available. Please contact me here if you are interested, or if you would like more information.

Mountain Creek is looking for Park & Pipe coaches for the 07-08 season. If you are a skier or a snowboarder and are looking for a cool job this winter, check out the JOB FAIR this Saturday 11/24/07 at the new base hotel. This event is for all jobs at MC, not just coaching... so feel free to attend if you are looking for a different position as well.

T-DAY RAIL JAM - THIS FRIDAY 11/23/07 @ 5pm We could not find a day that everyone agreed upon, so we have decided it will be on Friday starting around 5pm. If you can only make it on Saturday, let me know and if there are enough people interested we will have one then as well. This will be the last jam for the season. Hopefully it will get and stay cold and all the area mountains will be open in a few weeks. Check out www.twelve60.com for information during the winter. We just gave it a facelift and added some more content. Thanks! 1260

Hello, We are having a rail jam this Saturday 11/10/07. We will start a little earlier this time so that those of you that wanted to go to the Level 1 premiere at Blue Mountain can get there on time. Figure on starting around 3pm and going until around 7pm. If we are lucky it will be cold enough for some things to freeze. It looks like we may have 2 more jams including this one. Of course if the weather is horrible in December, we may have one or two more. We are already lining up sponsors for the Thanksgiving jam. Red Bull and Freeskier magazine have already committed and we will have a few more before the event. Please let us know what day on Thanksgiving weekend works best for you... Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Thanks! 1260

Ok, after a week to recover from the Monster Rail Jam 2007, we are preparing for our Thanksgiving Jam 2007. We are trying to figure out what day works best for everyone, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Let us know!!
