It's time to show off your best rail sliding skills at one the most popular winter carnival events in Rossland.

The Game Rail Jam is returning to Queen Street and is featured as part of the upcoming Rossland Winter Carnival.

Contestants aged 7 to 15, 16 and older will go head-to-head in ski and snowboard heats to find the best jibber. Jibbing is a skill where skiers or snowboarders jump over or grind on an obstacle. All skill levels are welcome to participate, or you can watch from the sidelines.

The competition has a $28 entry fee, and is scheduled to run from noon to 2 p.m. Competitors are encouraged to register in person from 10:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m. Helmets are mandatory.

The top jibbers advancing to the finals can expect prizes such as goggles, Yeti mugs, and other winter-themed treats.

To sign up and take part in one of the most anticipated competitions of the year, visit the Rossland Winter Carnival website for more details.
