Hey Guys, I'm a first year at UBCO and wondering if theres gunna be a rail jam this year. I've seen edits from the one last year and it looked awesome. I'm down to help make this happen, whether through VOCO or organizing it another way.

^^^ seems like a really weak event from what i've read on their facebook event page for a few reasons:

1. The only way to qualify for the actual rail jam appears to be a popularity contest where you post a picture of yourself and whoever gets the most likes get in.

2. If you can't qualify for the rail jam you have to pay $60 to hit it for fun

3. its a pretty weak looking dryslope setup, they posted this video on their facebook page of what it would look like
i mean come on for a funded event like this that's going to rake in $20 at the door per person per movie can at least get some real snow and some decent rails. the ones in the video are tiny!

this is my first year out west so maybe my expectations are too high, but out east i've never heard of a "pro" rail jam with rails from the kiddie park

your rant is justified ^^

BUT! Rail jams like this dont typically happen out west. The east has a wicked scene for early season rail jams.

This is also the first multiple movie premier/rail jam type event to happen in Kelowna. It is the first year, improvements will be made.

Spread the love! come have fun.

Ohhhh yeah and they will be getting snow to throw ontop of these features! im pretty fuckin pumped! there will be more ways to get in other than the popularity contest, the idea behind it was to get hype for the event and spread the word! as it has been hard to market this event in a short time.

awesome, really good to hear! having to watch rail jams that you would rather be skiing in really sucks. a little snow goes a long way too.
