Vermont Ski Resort Plans Memorial Day Weekend Rail Jam on Snow

Stratton Mountain, VT – For anyone still hankering for time on the mountain, Stratton Mountain will host southern Vermont’s final jam of the season on the same snow the pro riders at the U.S. Open rode, so don’t pack those skis and boards away just yet.

Snow is stockpiled and features are lined up for the final on-snow event of the season: the 3rd Annual Mountain Mayhem Rail Jam. The winter’s favorite features will make a reappearance under sunny skies for this “park-builder’s pick” event on Sunday, May 27. Bring the winter’s best tricks for the chance to win swag, prizes and bragging rights that carry through to next season.
