The 2025 Lovezone Community Jam is December 13, 2025.
The Lovezone Community Jam is back for 2025 — and if the last two years were any indication, this one’s shaping up to be the most chaotic, community-fueled, and the best version yet.
What started as a small, local gathering of riders and homies has turned into one of the rawest annual meetups in Colorado’s snowboard scene. 2024 had over 120+ riders come through. Boardslide Magazine (Previously known as Snow Pirates Co.) is known for throwing events that blur the line between contest and chaos, is once again throwing something that’s less about podiums and more about people.
From the Parking Lot to the People
The first Lovezone Community Jam back in 2023 was a proof of concept — a DIY session that existed purely out of love for snowboarding and the culture surrounding it. It wasn’t about sponsors, cash prizes, or Instagram edits (Even though the video recap was gas). It was about showing up, riding together, and keeping that real community spirit alive.
Then came the 2024 Lovezone Community Jam — the one that really set it off. Bigger crowd, heavier energy, and still that same raw, unpolished vibe that made it special in the first place. No massive corporate setup. No barriers. Just boarding, music, beers, and people hyped to be there. The jam saw riders from all over come through, pushing each other, laughing, filming, falling, and getting back up — all in the name of community and good times.
By the end of the day, it wasn’t about who threw the biggest trick, although Aaron Hoffman, Kaiden Paulson, Tommy Lynch, and Shane Lynch were on one. It was about who showed up for the community. That’s what Lovezone built its name on.
2025 — Keeping It Community
For Lovezone Jam 2025, Snow Pirates Co. is doubling down on what makes the event different. Expect a true grassroots setup, handbuilt features, and a no-frills approach that keeps it raw.
The focus this year isn’t expansion — it’s refinement. Tighter setups, smoother flow, more rider input. Think less contest, more chaos — the kind that makes for the best clips, the best stories, and the best memories.
This year’s jam is expected to feature:
-
A session-style format where riders can feed off each other’s energy instead of being judged by a panel.
-
Local brands and teams setting up tents, slinging gear, and showing support.
-
Open invite riding, with everyone from first-timers to seasoned locals dropping in.
-
A big cash bag, music spinning by 8AM Knights, gear giveaways, and big tricks keeping the energy high all day.
But more than anything, it’s about that same mission that’s been driving us since day one — lift the community up, not just growing a brand.
The Real Payoff
Events like Lovezone Community Jam don’t exist without the community putting in the work. From shoveling features to hauling generators, this jam runs on passion and sweat, not corporate funding. It’s a reflection of what snowboarding looks like when you strip away the sponsorship deals and go back to the parking lot.
And that’s exactly what makes it so special.
Boardslide Magazine continues to prove that you don’t need a major resort or a big name to create something meaningful. You just need people who care — about snowboarding, about the culture, and about each other.
Looking Ahead
So what can you expect from The Lovezone Community Jam 2025?
Expect chaos. Expect community. Expect progression. Expect people showing up because they love this shit — not because someone told them to.
Whether you’re a filmer, a rider, or someone who just wants to see what real snowboarding looks like when it’s unfiltered, this is it.
No entry fees. No red tape. Just snow, good people, and good energy.
This isn’t just a jam — it’s a reminder of why we all started doing this in the first place. See you there, motherfuckers!
