Rail Jam 2012

The University of Auckland’s Snowsports Club wanted to make a statement on Open Day, so in partnership with SnowPlanet and ROSC, they designed a snow event of ambitious proportions: a snowboard competition right there in the Auckland Universities Quad!  Provided with  a rough sketch of a ski ramp, and a vague idea of what they wanted, ROSC engineered a structurally sound and practical ramp, and arranged for both the scaffold and plywood to be installed. The ramp was designed to take an estimated 15 tonnes of snow, and of course needed to be totally secure as safety was parmount. Take a look at the end result!
