The spectacle was held at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. This is the first such event held at Fenway Park and was part of the U.S. Grand Prix Tour and the International Ski Federation's World Tour.[1] A 25,000 person audience was expected over the course of the two days.[2]The Winter clothing brand, Polartec, chose to sign on as the title sponsor. Polartec's North American Marketing Manager, Darren Jorsey, stated, "We want to continue to invest in the sports that push the boundaries of athletes and their apparel”.[2] ConstructionAccording to Eric Webster, the spokesman from the US Ski & Snowboard Association, "The structure itself, when completed, will stretch from the outfield all the way to home plate, basically."[4] The structure stood above the lights as the tallest object within the arena. Competitors had to climb several flights of stairs or ride an industrial elevator to reach the top of the jump.[5] The jump, when completed, was approximately 140 feet high, 430 feet long, and set at a 38 degree incline. Riders were able to reach speeds up to 40 miles per hour and needed to use that momentum to clear the 70 foot gap between the takeoff and landing.[3] The rather warm 2015-2016 winter in Boston was an additional complication, making it difficult to keep quality snow on the ramp. According to New Boston Post, "Snowmaking is being handled by Killington Resort in Vermont in conjunction with HKD Snowmakers from Natick, which manufactures snowmaking equipment. The snow will be applied to the ramp both manually and with the help of a 275-ton crane." The snow was made and stored between 11 pm and 5 am (the coldest part of the day) to be later installed on the structure, jump, and landing.[4] The jump was primarily constructed from steel planking and proprietary scaffolding. [4]It was expected to take 4-5 days to tear the entire structure down. [4] CompetitorsThe event caught the attention of many elite winter athletes. As a result, many of the top Winter Olympic and X Games athletes signed on immediately. Some of the big names that competed are Ty Walker, Joss Christensen, and Sage Kostenburg.[5] A more comprehensive list is below: Snowboard: Sage Kotsenburg, Chas Guldemond, Jamie Anderson, Ty Walker, Eric Willett, Eric Beauchemin, Jessika Jenson, Karly Shorr, Brandon Davis, Lyon Farrell, Kyle Mack, Brett Moody, Ryan Stassel, Seppe Smits, Tyler Nicholson, Max Parrot, Ella Suitiala, Silva Mittermueller, Cheryl Maas, Urska Pribosic, Lia-Marie Boesch, Sina Candrian, Elena Koenz, Jonas Boesiger.
