The 2024 CU Boulder Freeride Rail Jam drew in many spectators and participants on Sept. 6 in front of the Visual Arts Complex. Skiers and snowboarders alike showcased their talents for two hours by grinding and sliding across a rail in many spectacular fashions. Freeride’s many sponsors, including Burton, IKON, Eldora and Himali, passed out free swag and provided information to the Rail Jam crowd.
The welcome event retained a large, energetic crowd throughout its duration and showcased a soon-to-be bustling season for the Freeride club.
