One week down. Many many more to go. This Friday, CMC celebrated the official first Friday of 2nd semester. What more could someone ask for? Blue skies, wonderful temperature and a whole lot of snow. All these great conditions yielded one outcome... Rail Jam at noon.
In order to get the rail yard ready for the rail jam, students had to arrive early and get it set up. There were disputes over what people wanted to set up but in the end, everyone worked together to make an awesome park for the rail jam. At 12 oclock sharp the preliminary rounds started and everyone was just having fun trying out the set up and getting used to everything. After everyone was warmed up the competition began. They don't call it Colorado Mountain College for nothing. Students at this school are extremely talented which made it difficult for the judges. All in all however, the overall mission for everyone was to have fun so it made a great atmosphere to hang out and enjoy the day.
Here is a picture of some kids getting the park ready for the comp.

Overall the 2010 rail jam was a huge success. I was bummed out I had to miss part of it because I was on the big mountain having a good time. Luckily I was able to make it to see the 2nd half of the event. In the end, Taylor took 1st place. Chris took 2nd and Davey took 3rd. They all won gift certificates to powder pursuits... Lucky them.
Until Next Time,
C ya!
