The Rail Jam at Burke Mountain was started by the LSC Daggers and has become a tradition.

Steve Mahon, an LSC alumnus who majored in ski resort management, organized the event.

“The spirit of shred is stronger than ever. Each year, the course design gets more technical and the skiers and riders get even gnarlier,” Mahon said.

The winners of the event were divided into two groups snowboarders and skiers.

The snowboarders placed as follows. Braedon Bellavance an LSC ski resort management major placed first followed by Sean Guyer a senior at Lyndon Institute. Third place went to Seth Demers a Jay Peak local.

The skiers placed as follows Nate Bevelaqua an LSC ski resort management major won the competition. Currie Broadrick from UVM placed second and Jeff Scarpino an LSC ski resort management major placed third.

“Videos of previous rail jams can be found on YouTube.com if you search ‘Dagger’s Rail Jam’’,” Mahon said.
