Yo! Thanks to everyone who came out to the third annual GUOHSKI March Melt Rail Jam on Sunday March 17th 2024 at Mt St Louis Moonstone. A huge thanks to K2 Skis Ontario, Corbetts, Smith Optics, Rab Equipment, Dakine, Goggle Soc and Line Skis Ontario for supporting the event with prizing. Couldn't be happier with the community turnout, the weather, the setup and the atmosphere of everyone riding together. A lot of work behind the scenes goes into an event like this with a small crew and I am so stoked on how this turned out.
The March Melt started off with a big park build on the Friday featuring an 80 foot down rail, 60 foot "dinosaur" rail, 60ft St Patty's Party Tubby and the 12ft Classic T bar set up as big as we could make it. This 80 foot rail was all one piece and moving it on the blade of the cat was a bit nerve-racking but impressive. Dare I say I think this is the longest rail in Canada right now and maybe anywhere? Let me know if there is a longer rail in a park right now, especially all one piece.
Check out the setup below, more photos and build video on the @guohski instagram. Thanks to Craig, Ethan, Decker, Rae and Mark for helping with the build.
The event went down Sunday March 17th and we were lucky with perfect weather. Everyone killed it and it was great to see some Ontario OGs and the younger generation all throwing down. We had a ton of prizes and $1500 cash up for grabs. To keep the vibes right we also had the "MVP" award given to a rider that was not only landing tricks but also keeping everyone stoked and getting the crowd into it. Thank you to everyone who attended this year was absolute madness and I think all riders and the crowd had a good time.
