There is officially a new rail jam that will be gathering the creme de la creme of street boarding for many years to come and it is called the Street vs Snow. The first edtion went down in Tyrol on the weekend of February 1-2, where mastermind Flo Achenrainer invited riders from every corner of the globe to throw down on a heavy street set-up with unlimited creative potential, deep in the Kaunertal Valley. Check out the video by Sarah Christopherson and photos by Andreas Mohaupt for proof that this was an honest to god hammer fest of epic proportions. Keep your peepers peeled for next year's edition!
QUALIES

You know the kids that love to snowboard are the ones that ride qualies even if they are already in the finals. Jesse Augustinus giving a sneak preview of the terror he was going to bring in finals

Christian Geiger keeping it clean and crispy on the back tail off the no chump bump takeoff, shit is legit!

Mike Casanova showed up, dropped his bag and did this gnarly ollie over the close-out to back lip like it ain't no thang...

Men that qualified for the finals were Marvin Salmina, Roman Dlauhy, Simon Pircher, Darek Bergman, Danny Mösl & Dominik Brunner

Daniel Rajcsanyi with crafty food-themed moves: stall on the close-out to banana slide to pretzel out

Steve Grumser still in one piece. Homie took a heavy smash later that night but he's still beautiful, ladies

Don't get too comfy, kids, the show is about to start! Anne-Sophie Lechon, Mark Salas, Kas Lemmens and the BLV/NTHG magicians Sebi Muller and Davo Struber... oh, and Eirik Nesse's little Norwegian ass.

You had to go head to head against someone else to move on through the heats, something new for a rail jam

Moesl took the aerial approach to the course, which got him pretty far in the finals, here he is lighting off a backside 180 melon to firecracker

They don't call it Street vs Snow for nothing, Simon Pircher on the front board while white gold falls from the sky

More sweet, sweet Lemmenade from Kas, turning on the spin cycle with all types of 270 gaps in the finals

Captain Casanova was riding the setup every waking hour until he pulled his spleen though his rib cage or something. First Place for this warrior!

Jesse Augustinus turning on the hammer machine and getting his Dutch ass into first place with Casanova

Dollah dollah bills, y'all, 4,000 of them going to Mike Casanova, Jesse Augustinus and Anne-Sophie Lechon!
