Boreal Mountain Resort Fuels FUEL TV
Youth Action TV Station Airs Jibassic Pro Rail Invitational
Monday, November 4 through Friday, November 8

Los Angeles-based youth action focused FUEL TV plans to feature Boreal Mountain Resort’s urban rail park competition, the 2nd Annual Jibassic Pro Rail Invitational (or JPI) on Weekly Update, which is watched by 22 million US households. Contrary to program title, Weekly Update is a nightly half-hour program which recaps news, events, competitions and athlete bios of action sports such as snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding.

Look for faces you know on Weekly Update. Boreal’s 2nd Annual JPI was packed with pros who live right here in Tahoe: Brett Butcher, Destinee Perata, Jake Devine, Brett Christie, and Robbie Sell were among the top talent at this year’s JPI, as well as emerging stars like skier Becca Babicz (yeah, Becca!) and winner of the men’s snowboard division, John Foy. Other pros to watch for on the Weekly Update’s coverage of JPI include competitors like Curtis Woodman, Christian Koch, and Laurie Currier, plus the entire Liberty Ski pro team.

Boreal Mountain Resort kicked off the approach of winter 2006/2007 with JPI in October. Double the size of the event’s 2006 debut, JPI has raised a few eyebrows among local park jibbers, as well as national magazines and TV stations.

Featured early this year as one of the country’s top terrain parks on FUEL’s program, 10 Count, Boreal Mountain Resort will continue to expand its all-mountain terrain park this winter with the arrival of a night superpipe. Additional competition, revamped interactive youth action website www.jibassicpark.com, and to-be-revealed park features will keep riders and action sports media tuning in for more.

That was really shitty coverage by fuel. A 30 second section on it and all they showed were the boarders. Not a single mention of skiers, like they were not even there.

Well at least little ol' Boring hill was on FuelTv. Maybe that will help change peoples options about us. Not to mention that it helps add crediablity to the event in the eyes of potential SKI sponsors for next year. Hopefully it will help us get support for equal prize money for both ski and snowboard right from the start so we don't have to deal with this last minute like this year.
Dissapointing coverage or not..it will help us get the support to make the event bigger and better next year.

I've got my hands on a couple of good DV tapes from the event, soon when I have time I'll put together an offical JibassicTV edit.
