About two weeks ago on a nice and chilly Friday night, ShredMC (St. Mike's Ski and Snowboard Club) held their annual rail jam on campus called JibFest in the 300's Field. As the President of ShredMC this is was night that I was looking forward to for awhile. Countless hours were spent by not just the officers but also Grace Kelly, Mark Litchfield, Paul Olsen and other members of the Student Association, to make sure that this night went off without a hitch. The whole setup of the structure and all of the ramps are done by members of ShredMC.

Fortunately, we had perfect weather for JibFest, it wasn't too cold or too warm and it wasn't raining or snowing. Close to 400 or 500 people showed up to support their fellow classmates and the competition kicked off around 7:30. We had a DJ constantly playing music, people on the grills handing out free food and hot chocolate, and local businesses and school clubs and organizations handing out free promotional items.

It was one of the best nights I've had on campus this year and I am stoked that everyone who competed and came to watch enjoyed themselves.
