VOLCOM PEANUT BUTTER AND RAIL JAM
The Peanut Butter and Rail Jam is Volcom's free amateur snowboard contest series. The goal of the series is to give something back to the kids. Deviating from the established way snowboard contests are run, Volcom put their heads together and came up with a fresh format. Instead of having rails or features set up in a row, three rails are dug in side-by-each to create a single, large rail zone. The event is absolutely free, on a first come first serve basis, and boasts tons of free prizes and PB&J sandwiches! Also, everyone who enters walks away with a Volcom PBRJ shirt plus other goodies.

All proceeds from the event benefit a local charity.This is the 21st year for the Enduro. Prior to the Enduro event being organized, locals would challenge each other to see how many runs they could get in a day. Bragging rights would then ensue. The first Enduro was organized by TJ "The Juice" and Dan "Ro-Dan" Johnson in memory of "Turbo." Turbo has a run named after him, which can be seen from the Pali chair lift. The first Enduro was 12 hours long and the most runs anybody got was 71. In 2008, Jamie Ober and Ollie Holmes achieved the same amount of runs in 10 hours.
