Under a blazing bluebird sky in the heart of the Frisco, the 2026 Galentine’s Day Rail Jam brought together a powerful community of women for a day that was equal parts progression, celebration, and pure mountain joy. Hosted by Maddy Korth and No Thanks, the event took over the rope tow at Frisco Adventure Park in Frisco, Colorado. Plot twist, the rope was down, but that didn't bother the riders. We're used to hiking features.

The day couldn’t have delivered better conditions. A crystal-clear Colorado sky stretched over the Tenmile Range, with snow-covered peaks popping in the background. Sunlight reflected off perfectly groomed features while riders hiked and soaked in the kind of weather every park rider dreams about. ☀️🏔️

From the start, the rail park buzzed with anticipation. The setup flowed perfectly for the event. Allowing beginners, seasoned park riders, and everyone in between to session together and push their limits.

At its core, the Galentine’s Day Rail Jam is about community. Dozens of women showed up ready to ride, cheer each other on, and share the stoke that defines snowboarding culture. Instead of the typical competition-only vibe, the event leaned heavily into encouragement and collaboration.

Every landed trick, whether it was a first boardslide or a technical rail combo, was met with cheers from the sidelines. Riders hooted from the top rope tow and hyped each other up between drops. 

Once the jam kicked off, the intensity ramped up quickly. Ladies flowed through the rail park with style, creativity, and serious energy. Some were dialing in smooth, locked-in presses while others threw down bigger spins onto features.

Hike after hike, riders kept coming back for more. Stomping tricks they’d been chasing all season, and celebrating every small victory along the way.

The vibe could be summed up in one word: frothing. Everyone, from first-timers to experienced park rats, was clearly loving every second.

Events like this highlight something special about snowboarding: the culture thrives when riders lift each other up. By centering women and creating a welcoming space in the park, the Galentine’s Day Rail Jam fostered confidence and connection on snow.

Host Maddy Korth and No Thanks succeeded in building an event where progression felt natural, friendships formed quickly, and everyone left feeling part of something bigger than just a contest.

As the sun dipped lower behind the peaks surrounding Frisco, Colorado, riders took their final laps through the park with tired legs and big smiles. What started as a Galentine’s celebration turned into a full-on showcase of talent, community, and the unstoppable energy of women in snowboarding.

Good work, Maddy!
