Ironically, I miss this event every year because I am snowboarding, but if you are in town this weekend be sure to check it out. Winter Jam NYC will feature a 70-foot long Snow Flume for sledding, a winter snowfield with snowshoeing and cross-country skiing*, a snowman making contest, and of course the Snowboarding competition on a 90-foot tall Snowscraper structure. If you get chilled step into their Warming Hut with free samples from NY State farmers and producers, performances from the high flying Skyriders and live music from artists such as Apollo Run and FreeNYC fave Dujeous.
