Snowcat ops are getting more and more popular these days, especially in the US. Snowcats provide another way to access terrain beyond resorts and venture to rarely explored mountains. Easier than hiking, less of a headache than snowmobiling, and a lot cheaper than heli-boarding, these snow-whomping machines are the best in between option to fill your powder dreams and desires. Enter Powder Addiction: a new cat operation out of Jones Pass near Winter Park, CO.

The Cricket Campus Rail Jam series stopped through Boulder last week for a fun and fruitful gathering of CU’s local shreds excited to compete and possibly win some prize money, of course. The event was held on the main strip near campus aptly titled “The Hill” where many of the college-goers live and hang. A portion of the road was closed exclusively for the massive rail jam setup bringing a festivalesqe vibe complete with sponsor tents and merchandise. The contest consisted of three 45 minute heats during which riders could hit the features as many times as they could make their way to the top again and again. The fired up crowd packed the streets bumping to the sounds of a local dj posted up on a separate scafolding above the landing of the setup.
