The Grouse Mountain Terrain Parks Team
We want to build a personal relationship between our team and you, and we need your participation. Everyone is encouraged to join in the conversation, and you don’t need to register to read or comment. Here are a few of our key players:
Grouse Park Blogospondents
Our Grouse Mountain Terrain Parks Correspondents – The Blogospondents – are some of the brightest and most passionate young minds in Vancouver. They are documenting Grouse Park life and bringing you insightful and breaking industry news from all over the web and all over the world. These guys are the future superstars of the Snow Sports industry.
Charlie Grinnell – Editor
Returning for Year 3, Charlie is a shining example of what can be achieved through the Blogospondent program. Starting off as an original blogger in Year 1, he provided grousepark.com with almost 80% of its original video content. Charlie has since established his network in the film aspect of the industry and has worked as an intern for Alterna Films including filming and editing. He has now recently taken on a larger role with Poor Boyz Productions as a cinematographer and editor for their 2010/11 production. This year, Charlie is back as the site Editor and will be overseeing the blogger crew to keep them motivated to provide constant top content. We’re excited to see how far Charlie has come and what’s next for this superstar.
Grouse Mountain’s Pro Team
Grouse Mountain’s pro team will be posting throughout the season and sharing some great insider information with you.
Jeff Silcock
Jeff is Grouse Mountain’s Parks & Events Manager and has a huge history with Grouse Mountain. In fact, we hijacked the name GrousePark from him… it’s been his username for just about everything forever. (Sorry Jeff). Jeff has industry connections all over the place. He’s a good guy to know and will post interesting industry news from time to time.
Michelle Evans
Michelle is Grouse Mountain’s Marketing Services Manager and the Creator of grousepark.com. Michelle has worked at Grouse Mountain for over 10 years after getting her start in the industry at Apex Mountain. Now, she’s our tech/geek connection to the online world and enjoys sitting around tweaking wordpress blogs and playing around on twitter and Facebook.
The Fine Print
This is the point where we insert the “fine print” and discuss the guidelines for posting. Grouse Park Sessions is a moderated blog because we want to ensure that everyone stays on topic—or at least pretty close to it. We would love for you to post your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions, but when you post, make sure that they are of general interest to most readers. Of course, profanity, racial and ethnic slurs, and rude behavior like disparaging personal remarks won’t be tolerated nor published.
Even though Grouse Park Sessions is moderated, we will present opposing viewpoints and we will strive to keep posts interesting, diverse, and multi-sided. Our team wants to engage in a conversation with you, but not every post will receive a response from us. However, we encourage you to respond to our blogospondents and to the comments of other individuals. We also ask that you be patient with our team for a response.
One final disclaimer — Grouse Park Sessions is not the forum to address personal Customer Service issues. All of us have “day jobs,” and we simply don’t have the resources through Grouse Park Sessions to resolve individual concerns. Even though this is not the forum, Grouse Mountain is eager to resolve your concerns. Our Guest Services Representatives want to assist you, and you can contact them here:
