MAGOON CONQUERS AS HERBES DEFENDS TITLE AT KILLINGTON RESORT’S $15,000 RAILS TO RICHES

Snowboarder Lucas Magoon of Rutland, VT defeated his pal and defending champ Niko Cioffi, also of Rutland, while Cassandra Herbes (Sparta, NJ) defended her title Saturday night at the second annual $15,000 Rails to Riches Rail Jam at Killington Resort. “I just came to ride,” said Herbes, who won last’s year’s inaugural event and pocketed another $1,000 for the victory. “This is only my second day on snow this season, so I just wanted to have fun with it.”

Both Magoon and Cioffi qualified for the Union Square Street Sessions taking place on Thursday, February 8 in New York City’s Union Square.

In the ski division, John Strenio (Burlington, Vt.) and Kim Lamarre (Lac-Beauport, Quebec) took top honors. The crowd applauded Strenio's "heart" for riding with short sleeves and what became bloodied elbows, but his spirit never sagged.

Magoon and (skier) Strenio each won $4,000, all while beating out some of the best jibbers and rail riders in the Northeast.

  “I just got lucky. I have never won this much money before in my life,” said Strenio, who used the shavings from a local rink near his home to set up a few rails and sharpen his technical skiing skills. Strenio was also impressed with the effort the Killington Pipe and Park Crew put into this year’s event by adding another rail .“Last year was awesome, but this year the Killington Park Crew really stepped it up,” he said. “It was a very professionally run event.”

During the rail jam, an electronically controlled bonfire above the rail set-up occasionally shot high into the air, like something from the Wizard of Oz. After the rail jam, the lights were turned off and spectacular winter fireworks lit up the hill. There was a benefit party in the K-2 Lodge after the jam, and partiers took the gondola up in the silent spooky darkness to arrive in style. The extreme snowsports movie "Push" was shown, and this early evening "18 and over" party was a chatty, networking type of affair rather than a raucous bacchanalia.

 Highlights from the Second Annual Rails to Riches will air on NBC January 21 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EST as part of the Jeep World of Adventure Sports program. In addition, footage will also be broadcast on NBC February 18 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EST as part of the Union Square Street Sessions. Highlights will also be included on Fuse TV from January 1 through February 8 promoting the Union Square Street Sessions.
