Light the Night Rail Jam at Okemo

Women's Division Winner Maggie Leon and Coach Gillian Goodwill

With warmer than expected (or desired) temps, the KMS Snowboard Team traveled down route 100 to Okemo Mountain Resort for the Light the Night Rail Jam this past Saturday Jan. 7th accompanied by Coach Gillian Goodwill.

With a challenging and creative setup for the event, and plenty of spectators, the team had their work cut out for them! KMS Snowboard Team rookie Justin Peyton 15 of Woodstock, VT wowed the crowd by gapping onto the flat-down-flat-down rail. Joey Leon, 12 of West Simsbury, CT nailed his first backside lipslide in competition on the down bar. The stoke was high for the team, which setup Maggie Leon, 14 of West Simsbury CT for the win in the women's division! With a clean 50-50 of the entire flat-down-flat-down rail, there was no other choice. This was Maggie's first rail jam win of the season, but definitely won't be the last.

We're very proud of all the KMS Snowboard Team that traveled and competed- great job team!
