Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV) introduces the first-ever “Friday Night Flights” as a new addition to its 42 year-old Vail Town Series, presented by East West Partners, this week.

As a Jam format, riders and skiers will slide rails while performing their best tricks from 5 – 6 pm.

At the end of the first hour, event judges will select the top 8 snowboarders and top 8 skiers to advance to the finals. From 6 – 7 pm each finalist will take two runs; the higher scored run of each skier and rider will count toward the final results.

This week’s rail jam will have 2 divisions – an open division for ages 13 & Up (with cash prizes available) and an Under 13 division. To register for Friday’s event visit the tent mountain-side at SSCV’s Clubhouse at 598 Vail Valley Drive. Registration is from 3:30 – 5 pm Friday. All competitors must sign a release wavier; a waiver must be signed by a parent/legal guardian for those under age 18.

Future dates in the series are as follows. All events will take place from 5 – 7 pm at Golden Peak in Vail.

The cost of the event is $25 for all age groups. All proceeds from Friday Night Flights benefit the programs of SSCV.
