hopefully i will be able to go
Sorry for the delay. Been tied up with a whole bunch of other things... Here's the info though.
Most of the info is on the Facebook event page.
http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/event.php?eid=149888561712770
Railjam is Saturday, October 30th from 5pm to 10pm. Hit up Whaleback's afternoon jam and then roll up to K-Town for the Green Mountain Resort Management program jam.
The setup will be the stair set as always and new this year they are looking to include a butter box and a flatbox.
We have partnered with the Killington EDTC this year and they have assisted in snow collection with a full dualie load of snow on Friday as well as another load slated for later this week. This is on top of the snow that was already gathered by the students since earlier in the month. Should have plenty of snow too shred on.
Registration kicks off at 5pm and you can ride the setup until 10pm, possibly later. Cost is $8 if you are wearing a costume or $12 without a costume. Prizes are still being finalized by our sponsors.
In addition to the railjam, there will be a hay sculpture bonfire and other activities and music.
Sponsors include Darkside Snowboards, Evolution Freeride, Smith Optics, eMTee Clothing, and the Mountain Times.

Thanks man, you are by far the most helpful mod on ns. Let's just hope Ktown can survive through this week.
Thanks for the compliment, although all of us mods are good guys and we are all mods in the best interest of the site and sport.
As for K-Town, I wouldn't expect any skiing at the mountain next weekend aside from the railjam. It's supposed to be in the 60s and rain showers all week. There's next to no chance of them being open next weekend.
Railjam is rain or shine.
Also of one other note, participants under the age of 18 will need the signature of a parent or guardian in order to participate.

Weather's looking decent for the weekend. Cold and dry as of right now. Should be perfect railjam weather!
Make a weekend of it by hitting Whaleback's event in the afternoon (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=133202873360959&ref=ts) and then make the short drive up to Killington for the Tricks & Treats jam!
I'll throw up some photos of the setup and everything tomorrow.

sounds sick, il try to make it up there
Here's the setup, which is receiving some last minute attention. Left option is a flat down box. Middle is the stairset, and a ledge is being finished up on the right hand side.
If we have enough snow, the start ramp in the background will remain near where it is in this photo and a brand new flat box will be setup before the stairset.
Here's what we have for snow right now. They will be making one or two more snow runs per day and we are expecting another full dual-axle truck load later this week prior to the event.

ya he was
That would've been me!
I can't take too much personal credit for this years event, but it did go pretty well.
Lighting was a little off and I was using a mediocre point and shoot so I don't think I got any stellar photos, but a good time seemed to have been had by riders.
