• no, there wont be any jambands.com bands playing, i dont think, but there will be some cool snowboarding to watch for free in NYC feb 5-7 . On the lower east side they are building this huge 90 ft ramp for a Big Air competition on thursday feb 5 with pro snowboarders like Travis Rice and Shaun White competing. There are other things goin on throughout the weekend but this looks really cool.

  The Snowscraper, under construction in East River Park, is said to be the largest structure ever built for a special event in the city parks.
