SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – The Gallivan Center lit up on Saturday, November 3rd when thousands of winter enthusiasts gathered at Ski Utah’s 2nd annual Fat Flake Festival. The event was kicked off with the first ever Fat Flake Festival Monster Rail Jam. A 14-foot high start platform and in-run will led to a "butter wedge" to a down box, provided by Park City Mountain Resort, and a 37-foot “volcano” box (a battleship with a slightly concave plateau), provided by The Canyons. The venue was covered with snow from Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts. Athletes engaged in fierce and highly entertaining competition much to the audience delight. When all was said and done, judges Aaron Bittner, Kimmy Fasani and Pep Fujas crowned MC Waryas as the best female ski athlete and Kyler Cooley best male. Alicia Trujillo won best female snowboard athlete and Zak Hale best male. Each winner was awarded with $800, a bag from Dakine and a year supply of Monster energy drink.

Adolescent boys with shaggy hair and skinny jeans hanging from their hips show off kickflips, ollies and noseslides, heckling each other when they fall.
You would never guess that at least a handful of them are vigilantes - or maybe just the punk rock version of hall monitors.
They have to be to keep their park open.
