In case you've been living in a hole for the past month and missed us telling you about the raddest party of the winter... Chamberlin Rail Jam is this weekend! Do not miss it!

Those of you who have been paying attention are probably already getting ready for the big event, which as a refresher includes awesome snowboarding, great bands, delicious beers and can't-miss food, and we've been preparing as well.

Many of us at the radio station have been repeatedly things like "What is Rail Jam?" and "How do you have an event like this with no snow?"

I'll do my best to explain here, but really this is one you need to attend to really grasp its epicness.

A crew has been working hard the past few days to construct a rail for the about 50 competitors to hit on skis and snowboards while throwing the most impressive tricks they are capable of.

Starting Thursday a snow maker was set up on site and the fluffy white stuff has been accumulating on and around the structure.

Organizer Tate Chamberlin has been hosting an annual rail jam in Bozeman for five years. This is the first time he has held one in Missoula... and if the weather predictions are correct, it will also be the first Chamberlin Rail Jam at which there is no snow falling from the sky.

The rad part is the first night is FREE and anybody can participate and compete. Everybody who attends can expect two days of riding, giveaways, bonfires, hot tubs, bar specials, video games and a huge rail-sliding colossus “transformatron”. Totally worth the experience of the very first Rail Jam in Missoula!
