Nothing says winter like snow, and Ober Gatlinburg in the Smoky Mountains has plenty of it. The slopes will open in December, but the 2014 fun season starts on November 21 with a Rail Jam on Friday night, celebrating the newly groomed snow in the Tubing Park. Then on Saturday – Snow Tubing begins and it’s winter!<\/span><\/p>\n

The “Back in Blue” Rail Jam is a chance for skiers and boarders to try their moves on the rails – because facing in the same direction is boring, right? Competitors in two age groups of 14 and under and 15 and over will compete for a piece of the $1,000 prize money, along with lots of merchandise being given away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free for competitors and spectators, the fun starts at 7 pm. There will be DJ music, food, drinks and lots of skiing. This is great fun for those who love the white powder – and Ober Gatlinburg has even more enhanced snow-making capacity this year, its 53rd season as Tennessee’s only ski area. Here’s a clip from last year’s Rail Jam:<\/span><\/p>\n
