PORTLAND — Sunday River and Sugarloaf resorts will host their annual Downtown Showdown rail jam on Feb. 3 at 5:30 p.m. in Portland.

One of the few urban rail jams in the country, the resorts partner with the city of Portland to bring the mountains of Maine to the metropolitan streets in the form of a five-story, snow-covered rail and staircase feature set up in Monument Square.

The region’s best skiers and snowboarders will be invited by Sunday River and Sugarloaf to compete and showcase their skills.

Free to watch, last year’s rail jam drew in thousands of spectators who gathered around the manmade mountain to watch as athletes competed for more than $4,000 in cash and prizes. This year’s prize purse will be valued the same. A list of competitors for this year’s event will be released later this month.
