We had an awesome turnout at the first Vans Mini Cup last weekend. Check out who won and who is going to get to compete at the Vans Cup Rail Jam

The Vans Mini Cup in Winter Park, CO is in the books! The first of a three stop tour to qualify the countries top ams into the Vans Mammoth Cup rail jam went off with a bang. The Colorado Rockies blanketed the slopes with over a foot of fresh snow and the conditions on the hill couldn't have been better.

Join Vans and Satellite Boardshop this Sunday, December 14th at Winter Park Resort in Colorado for the first stop of the Vans Mini Cup, a new series of three rail jams going down around the country this winter. The event kicks off at 11:00 am and will feature an open jam session, narrowing down to a 10-man final judged by the Vans Snow team. The winner will score an all-expense-paid trip to the Vans Cup at Mammoth and a slot in the event's invite-only rail jam. Cash prizes of $500, $300 and $150 will also be handed out to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in both the men's and women's 16 and over divisions, while riders under the age of 16 will have a chance to compete for Vans snow gear, shoes and other cool prize packs!
