2026 USASA Southern California Series — Rail Jam 2 at Bear Mountain

About this event

The 2026 USASA Southern California Series Rail Jam 2 was a sanctioned amateur snowboard and freeski rail jam held on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at Bear Mountain in Big Bear Lake, California — the same day Bear Mountain hosted the season-closing Slopestyle 2 of the series. In the jam-format rail contest, riders took repeated hits on a terrain-park jib setup of rails, boxes, and street-style features while judges ranked them on trick difficulty, style, variety, and consistency, awarding USASA points toward the Southern California Series Rail Jam standings and the 2026 USASA national rankings that feed the USASA National Championships. The event offered 60 age-graded divisions across snowboard and freeski — from Rascal (ages 5-6) through Legend (50 & over), plus Open Class and the inclusive Kekoa and Para (adaptive) categories — making it a genuine grassroots entry point for Southern California park riders of every age and ability. Results were officially scored and published on Liveheats and the USASA regional site: 22 divisions were contested by roughly 55 competitors, with rail-jam placings recorded as ranked finishing order rather than numeric run scores. Bear Mountain, run by Big Bear Mountain Resort, is the premier freestyle terrain-park mountain for the Los Angeles region, roughly 100 miles from central Los Angeles, and its parks host the USASA Southern California Series all winter — making this the closest sanctioned snowboard/freeski rail jam series to LA. This record documents a completed event; registration and entry are closed and results are final.
