Jam event at Boreal for skiers and boarders

Boreal’s Expression Sessions are returning for the 15th consecutive season. The Expression Sessions are a series of four jam-style events between January and April for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels.

Anyone over the age of 7 is encouraged to compete in any and all of these events. Awards are given to the top three skiers/riders in each division, plus tons of other prizes will be randomly distributed and raffled off to spectators and competitors throughout each event.

New this year, each Expression Session will build on the theme of Junkyard Jams. Before each session Boreal will unveil a never-before-seen terrain feature that has been reduced, reused or recycled for a second life. The first event Jan. 13 will feature a slightly modified 1,000 gallon propane tank. The final event on April 6 will be a showdown on all three features from the previous events.

For each competition the terrain features and prizes will change, giving everyone something to look forward to. The age divisions are decided after registration, based on the ages of those registered. Registration will begin at 5pm the day of each event and competition will begin at 6:30pm.

Entry is $5 for anyone that has a Boreal lift ticket or season pass. Helmets are required.

Other session dates are Feb. 10, March 9 and April 6.
