Malay Day 2008 kicks off at 11 a.m. April 10 at Golden Peak with a pipe jam, rail jam and jump jam.
It wouldn’t be right to wrap up Vail’s 2007-08 season without one last snowboarding contest, and in the name of one of the valley’s most memorable riders, of course it’s going to happen.
Thursday, April 10 is Malay Day 2008, honoring the life of professional local snowboarder Josh Malay, who died in 2004 at the age of 23 while snowboarding in Spain.
Malay Day is an opportunity for riders of all ages and ability levels to compete in a jam format in halfpipe, slopestyle and on the rails course at Golden Peak.
The pipe jam kicks off at 11 a.m., followed by the rail jam at 12:30 p.m. and the jump jam at 1:30 p.m. The top overall male and female score a season pass for the 2008/09 season and prizes will be distributed throughout the day to anyone who impresses the judges.
Registration takes place between 9 and 10 a.m. at the Golden Peak Lodge for $10 and $40 lift tickets are available to participants. Registrants younger than 18 years old must bring a parent to sign a waiver. The event offers free food, live DJ and after party at Garfinkel’s in Lionshead. Not to mention one final opportunity to show off all the tricks you’ve dialed in this season.
