The excitement is brewing for the upcoming Rockstar Energy Open, a brand new snowboarding competition and festival that promises to deliver thrilling performances, entertainment, and plenty of fun. Slated to take place over three days starting December 19 at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado, this event will kick off with the highly anticipated Rail Jam competition.
A Weekend of Snowboarding and Celebration
Comprising a variety of activities, the Rockstar Energy Open will begin with the Rail Jam at 3:30 PM on the first day, where top athletes will showcase their skills on a purpose-built terrain course. This year’s lineup boasts competitive talent, including local Denver rider Egan Wint and Rockstar Energy athletes Brandon Davis and Ylfa Runarsdottir, joined by Olympian Raibu Katayama, as they vie for top spots in a 20-minute jam format, ultimately leading to final rounds for the best performers.
Once the outdoor action wraps up, the festivities shift to the Blue River Plaza, coinciding with Breckenridge's iconic Ullr Fest celebration. From 6 PM until 9 PM, attendees will enjoy a film festival featuring short films, interactive experiences, giveaways, and live music. Notably, this year’s headliners are DJ Westend from New York and tech-house DJ Torren Foot from Australia, bringing their unique beats to elevate the weekend's atmosphere. These performances are set to begin at 7:30 PM, creating a vibrant ambiance as the crowd engages in a celebration of snow, music, and community.
Premier Competitions Underway
The following day marks the beginning of the Park Style competition, highlighted by the Men's Video Qualifying Series (VQS) that includes both men's and women's semi-finals. Emerging talents and established professionals, including Olympians Red Gerard and Jamie Anderson, will be competing in high-stakes showdowns, showcasing their skills and creativity. The excitement will continue as top performers from video submissions join these legends to battle for glory right on the snow.
