""It's one of the most core, grassroots, interactive events. The course is so small, you don't need a big TV screen; you see it in person. It's introducing freeskiing and rail riding to a whole new demographic.""
""Where X Games is in Aspen, and the Olympics this year are in Italy, they're unattainable for a lot of people to see in person, but an event like this is more approachable, more in your face,""
""Riders had their pick of a down rail, a down-flat-down rail, and a flat rail with a steep drop.""
ASUU and Woodward hosted a school-sanctioned rail jam with women's ski and snowboard, men's ski, and men's snowboard divisions awarding free Woodward season passes. Riders chose among a down rail, a down-flat-down rail, and a flat rail with a steep drop while a student-packed plaza created an electric, close-quarters atmosphere that encouraged bold tricks. The event marked ASUU's first sanctioned rail jam since 2011 and connected to recurring Salt Lake City rail events. The format is grassroots and interactive, introducing freeskiing and rail riding to new demographics and offering more approachable viewing than large televised competitions.
