MSU Wake Club hosts winter ski and snowboard rail jam

Michigan State's Wake Club hosted a rail jam event on Feb. 8, 2025, where the club built a homemade terrain park at Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Using a winch to pull them through their impromptu park, their creation was littered with various features for freestyle skiers and snowboarders to stunt on. With the nearest resort being 40 miles away, ski and snowboarders can find themselves busy in their own park near campus for spectators to gather and enjoy the show while socializing.
