Nick "Young Franchise" Garcia, 19, of Lewiston kicks up ice shavings brought in from Ingersoll Arena as he rides the rails at Lost Valley Sunday morning. The open rail jam was a peer-judged contest on style and skill, allowing snow boarders and skiers to have some fun before the snow falls. Prizes were provided by Backwoods and Lost Valley. "The basic rule is to have fun and don't hurt yourself," event organizer John Viale said. To see a short video and more photos from this event, visit sunjournal.com/2012LVrailjam.
