Pro Competition, Public Terrain Park, Snowboard Film Premiere at Event

Donner Summit, Calif., — Boreal Mountain Resort, Snowboard Magazine and Fuel TV are kicking off Northern California’s ski and snowboard season here at the 3rd Annual Jibassic Pro Invitational Rail Jam Saturday, October 13.

Boreal will truck in more than 3000 cubic feet of snow for this one-of-a-kind event and only pre-season snowboard competition in the Tahoe area. Snow riders can actually jib terrain park features, watch the latest snowboard films before top freestyle snowboarders compete into the evening.

Gates open at 2 p.m. and Public Jib Arena opens at 3 p.m. A season pass or just $1 buys unlimited access to the mini-stall wall. Movie time starts at 7 p.m. with snowboard movie makers Blank Paper Studios’ latest film titled In Short.

The main event kicks off at 8:15 p.m. when 30 of the world’s best professional snowboarders jam the custom-built 30-step staircases made of six options rail and box options with a bus feature at the bottom.

“With last year’s contest featuring 50 competitors and 4,000 spectators, we hope the third time around will be even bigger and better,” said Eric Rosenwald, Boreal Mountain Resort Terrain Park Director. “A shot at $5,000 isn’t a bad way to start off the season either. This is a great way to get people excited about winter,” he added.

Jibassic Pro Rail Invitational is free for all ages. Boreal’s supporting vendors will form a tent village handing out free product. Get $99 College and Night, $199 Super-Saver, and $299 Anytime Season Passes for the last time before regular season rates apply. Work the winter at Boreal and get a free unrestricted season pass.

Dress warmly for this event as the usual bonfire will only happen if area fire threat conditions improve. No outside alcohol will be permitted on the premises. DJ Silver Boom Box Thief will spin live music during the competition and after party. Boreal will also have food and beverages available at the event.
