Ogden (or as the locals call it, O-Town), UT has become a city on the
map for ski and snow enthusiasts everywhere. To inaugurate what has
become a city re-born as the ski industry epicenter, DNA Ski Apparel,
Nidecker, Salomon, Kahuna Creations and ATOMIC are teaming together to
host the “O-Town Throw-Down Rail Jam” competition in conjunction with
ski film premier Realtime by Level 1 Productions on September 27th. The
night will kick off with an Open rail session ($10 open) and live-band
at 5pm. Following this will be climbing wall and street skate
competitions and the feature premier of Realtime beginning at 9pm.
Rounding out the night will be the “Throw-Down” Snow-less Rail Jam
competition. Three comp positions will be reserved for qualifiers from
the Open session.
The events will be held in the Ogden Glass Atrym, a structurally
impressive, once abandoned factory turned model for green building
development in Ogden. Built in 1915 for the American Can Company, the
long-neglected 17,000 square foot building has been completely revamped
for the event and is now viewed as the cornerstone of Ogden’s downtown
re-birth.
A $5 cover gets viewers in the doors and includes
admission for one of the season’s most anticipated ski films of the
year. Realtime, directed by award-winning filmmaker Josh Berman and
produced by Level 1 Productions, “captures the season as it unfolds for
a crew of the biggest names and best up-and-coming talent in skiing. In
a winter quite unlike any other to date, the film is a chronological
portrayal of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the ’06-’07
season exactly as it happened.”
Along with premier product
and swag give-a-ways and local graffiti art installations, Powder
Mountain Resort will be offering a $25 discount on season passes.
Another major highlight for the evening will be the head-to-head
“Throw-Down” Rail Jam competition: skiers vs. skiers and boarders
vs. boarders. As well as prizes and $500 cash for the winner, there
will be a “best trick” award given at the event. On location will be
DNA and Salomon sponsored freeride athletes John Symms and Mike Clarke
for autograph signing and event emceeing.
Tickets will be sold at the door @ The Atrym on the corner of 20th St. & Lincoln in Ogden. Doors open at 5pm
