Even though the weather looked extremely bad right before the AmThrash Spring Rail Jam, a large group of shredders showed up at Wild Mountain. The weather took a turn for the better and everybody had a good time on what little snow was left on the hill. Many riders ended up covered in mud, but a good time seemed to be had by all that showed up. Thank you to Wild Mountain for hosting this event as always! The rideMinnesota crew was there to take pictures of the event which you should check out.

Sorry for the delay in posting the photos from the Joe’s Boardshop Rail Jam. The event was a huge success and everybody that attended walked away with a ton of free swag. There was even a showing by the pro Salomon Snowboard team during the event. I would like to give a big “Thank You” to AJ Miller for the photos from the event. UPDATE: Click the link below for the results.
Please bring us some cold weather!
November 23rd, 2009
Wild Mountain announced today that they will be closing for the rest of the week due to poor snow conditions. So far they have been the only resort to open in Minnesota and the weather hasn’t been very friendly to other resorts to try and catch up. Most resorts were open at this time last year, yet they keep pushing their opening dates back this year due to warm temperatures. Hopefully we will see the temperature drop after Thanksgiving as the weather forecasters predict. I don’t know about everybody else, but it has been pretty depressing for me to watch places out west such as Mount Baker open their season with powder days. Let’s all hope for colder weather so we can start the season we’ve been waiting for all summer long. In the meantime, make sure you stop by Joe’s Boardshop tomorrow night for a rail jam and an appearance by the Salomon pro team.

Other resorts trying to catch up to Wild Mountain
November 17th, 2009
Wild Mountain has now been open for 3 days, but other resorts are doing their best to catch up. I was at Wild last night and I must say I was impressed with the snow conditions for how little time they had to blow the white gold. Across the river in Wisconsin, Trollhaugen has been making snow whenever possible but hasn’t officially given an opening day yet. Down in the south, Welch Village has started making a little bit of snow and has set November 27th as their tentative opening day. Also near the Twin Cities, Afton Alps has also begun blowing snow but hasn’t predicted an opening date. It looks like there is a series of warm weather headed our way, but let’s hope that doesn’t last long so we can have more places to ride.
Wild Mountain Opening at Noon Today
November 15th, 2009
The wait it finally over for the first day of riding in Minnesota. Wild Mountain will be opening 1 run today at 12pm. The price will be $16 today, but please keep checking with Wild for current pricing. Congrats to Wild on being the first Minnesota resort to open once again. See everybody on the white ribbon.
Real snow in October!
October 12th, 2009
I’m sure plenty of you were excited this morning when you woke up to a nice covering of the white stuff. The couple inches of snow this morning was exactly what we needed to get even more stoked about the new snow season to come. Get those boards and skis waxed up and keep checking the site to see which resort opens first. Trollhaugen and Wild Mountain have already started making snow but the forecast doesn’t look great for progress. Keep your fingers crossed for colder temps and tell those complainers to move somewhere else… Enjoy the picture of snowy runs courtesy of Welch Village.
