This year Ski Roundtop hosted two primary events at the R-Games.
A Rail Jam on Friday night and a Big-Air Contest on Saturday
night. We
had the pleasure of playing slope side both nights. It was
a little chilly, but so much fun it didn't matter. A big carpet
was laid out where we could set up and jam. The Roundtop office
crew brought forth vehicles to haul our equipment around the ski
slopes and even broke everything down on Friday night while we
got some riding in. A big thanks goes out to Jim, Ray, and
Dave.
The Rail Jam had over 150 contestants (Elvis
was there for sure) and sported one of the most
glamorous rails on the East coast. The rail was in three
tiered
sections. Each section had triggers that would cause it to light
up to indicate how far the rider went. On the sides of the
rail were graphics showing cards, dice, poker chips, slot
machines, and the words "Viva Las Vegas". Whoever lit it up
the most won all the money.
The Big Air contest had less contestants, but proved to be the
larger of the spectator events. Ski patrol was standing by
waiting for a big spill, but luckily nobody got injured. The crowd lined the fence and
rocked out to the sounds of NagChaumpa. We even got word
that those in the lodge could hear the tunes while sipping on
hot chocolate. Another excellent
R-Games wrapped up.
