Volcom's peanut butter and jelly rail jam was being held at Summit at Snoqualmie in Washington on the 13th. With anticipation of the competition, I decided to head to Washington a bit early to so some repping for Cilla and gather my 2011 products from sponsors...Ride, Pow, and Spacecraft. The first day I was there I had the chance to ride Steven's Pass. Stevens is probably my favorite resort in Washington. Great terrain and a well maintained park make this resort a really well rounded place to shred. The second day of my trip was one of the best highlights of the trip. Zumiez had taken the time meet with myself, Priscilla Levac, and Alexis Waite to check out the 2011 Cilla line. Kate Craig, buyer for Zumiez, and some of the marketing team members hosted us for dinner that evening. Two bottles of Saki later and some delicious sushi we were well into an enjoyable evening. The third day of the trip brought about more snowboarding at Stevens Pass followed by a day of rest prior to the PB&J. The competition was held on Saturday evening under the lights. There were three features, two of which were dance floor oriented. So naturally there was a lot of dancing going on. There was a good female turn out. About 12 - 15 girls were there to take a stab at the top five spots that advance to the finals. Raelynd Tarnove and Megan Middleton were two familiar faces. Both girls are local northwest shredders that kill it. With so many contestants in each category the night was long, but in the end I took second place with a tail 270 out on one feature and a switch 180 to frontboard 270 out on another. All three of us made the top five so it looks like we will be road tripping together to the finals in Mammoth Lakes, California in April.
