The annual Winter Jam NYC was super fun this past weekend! It was cold, but thousands of people came from all over to play in the snow with us. The Switch Academy Rail Jam was amazing, too - big ups to the park crew, snowmakers and groomers for bringing their mountainous skills to the city.
The three features were expertly installed in the middle of Central Park including a flat down flat box, flat rail and slanted box. The Mountain Creek foam fingers were out in full force - people may have liked the added flair, but I think it also provided some extra warmth. I don't think the temp got above 25 degrees, but with the wind chill... it felt close to -1,020 degrees at best... sort of.
