SLUG Magazine crowns the Kings and Queens of The SLUG Prom Jam Presented by Natty Light, Scion and Yudu on Feb. 6, 2010 at Brighton Mountain Resort.
On Saturday, February 6, 2010, SLUG Magazine and Presenting sponsors- Natural Light, Scion and Yudu threw a most righteous competition at Brighton Resort. The SLUG Games “Prom Jam” had everyone in their best dress. Competitors rocked prom themed jerseys screen-printed by Yudu and the SLUG Games coordinating crew was decked out in jackets by The North Face. Two Scion cars were positioned in front of the Brighton Center where competitors registered for their chance to be crowned The SLUG Games King and Queen of shred.
The Brighton Park Crew set up a radical course that was designed and built by SLUG Games Coordinator Jeremy Riley and the rest of the SLUG Games team. It was full of features you would find at your high school prom- desks, lockers, a disco ball, bleachers, even an unsharpened pencil to get “jibby” on, and the contestants took no time to get to work on them.
17 and under went first and these folk were definitely right at home at the Prom Jam, eagerly hitting every obstacle, listening for any tricks the mc or judges said they were looking for and making them happen. Skiers were no exception to the radness, they were throwing twists and turns through everything the snowboarders laid claim to, making it their own. Ladies gave everyone a run for their money, stepping it up on every obstacle they could hit in one run and then hiking back up and doing it again. The judges noted that the riding coming from the ladies was some of the most technical and progressive talent that they had ever seen in a competition. Competitors among the men’s open were throwing 360 bonks on the disco ball to start off their run, with effortless style, and kept it running to the pencil stall (probably the most jibbed feature besides the disco ball) with spins in and out of any press you can imagine.
After all was said and done with the judges, the prom moved on down to the Alpine Rose. DJ Lil G was spinning vinyl and Natural Light was selling Natty cans for 2 bucks while the judges finalized their decisions. The scores were tallied and the award ceremony began. The kings and queens of the SLUG Games Prom Jam walked away with snowboards, skis, soft goods and hardware from all of our sponsors and first place with a cash prize! When it was all said and done these are the folks that killed it the hardest on the mountain.

Dear friends,
First off, I wanted to thank everyone who came out and participated. We had so much fun hanging out and shredding. We had a great turn out this year. Everyone was solid right from the beginning. Some of the highlights were, Skier C.J. Bodey, killing it with a 630 off the pole jam. The Defending Champion Everest Arnold was throwing down all sorts of technical spins onto the features, and stomping hand plants on the dog house box. It was a close call between all finalists. The first place overall Skier, Walter Shearon won by throwing down tricks like K-FED’s on the fire cracker rail and 360 nose drag on the sphere. The first place overall boarder was Brandon Hoebush. He destroyed the course by doing 50-50 backflip off the pole jam, hand plants in the pipe, and even M.J.’s on the boxes. The overall girl category winner, Victoria Ashley demonstrated her skills by boosting big air back 180’s off the pole jam, and back lips on the hitching post. I would like to thank all of the sponsors who helped out with this event. Slug Mag, Savai Snowboards, Skull Candy, Fuel TV, Surface for hooking up awesome prizes, KAB Rails, Red Bull for keeping us amped, Thirty Two, Pow, Neff, Etnies, Smith, and Brighton Resort. Also, a special thanks to Jared Winkler and The Truth Terrain Park Crew for all their hard work to make this event happen. If it wasn’t for you guys (the participants) and the sponsors this event wouldn’t be such a huge success. I enjoyed watching and cheering along with everyone who kill it through out the day. Satch is real excited to be able to put this on. We do it for the sport and we hope everyone had as much fun as we did.
Sincerely,
Erin Young

Last Friday night we kicked off the first park event of the season. The Best Trick night ridding rail jam. The set up consisted of 3 different rails. With awards going to ski and snowboard divisions, best bail and best one time hammer. There were all kinds of nasty tricks being thrown down, spins on, spins off & spins in the middle. You name it, it was attempted. Some of Brighton’s up and coming pros were on hand to ride with the young rippers (Alex Andrews, Brandon Hammid, Jonna Owen, Dylan Thompson and Brandon Hobush to name a few.) With lots of love from the parks sponsors everyone walked away with a small prize. Big thanks to The TRUTH, THIRTYTWO, ETNIES, SURFACE, KAB, AIRBLASTER, NEFF, POW, SMITH, SKULLCANDY & BRIGHTON.
