Larson Rides Rail Jam 2026 was built for the groms, the community, and the love of snowboarding.

Created in honor of Chris Larson, Larson Rides exists to help keep kids connected to the mountains, the snow, and the kind of community Chris loved so much. Chris brought people together through riding, laughter, and pure stoke — and this event was created to carry that energy forward.

On April 12, 2026, riders, families, friends, sponsors, and supporters gathered at Hilltop Ski Area in Anchorage, Alaska for a day full of rails, snow, smiles, and seriously good vibes. We had an absolute blast celebrating the next generation of riders and everyone who showed up to make the day unforgettable.
