The 2009 Winter Jam, a pro-snowboarding competition, starts here—in NYC!—Saturday. In addition to the snowboarders arcing over the East River, there will be free snowshoes and cross-country skis to demo, a snowman-making contest, and live music for the non-extremists.
February 7, 11 a.m.–4 p.m.; East River Park, FDR Dr. and Houston St.; free.
