Catfish and Peachtree do Xmas, Grouse Mountain Style

christmas-soldierHey gang,

Hope everyone had a good xmas/Hanukah what have you! Mine was a little on the quiet side (the economy hit hard I guess). Despite the excessive pyjama lounging, I managed to boogie on up to the hill with my good friend Graeme for a couple hours.

If you have a minute, check out Graeme’s videos. This guy pumps out some fan-freakin-tastic little edits.

We managed to muck around a bit, slashing some serious pow and finding cute pillow lines all along blazes and inferno. Mind the rocks, as they are out and about as usual. With the mountain closing early and our stupid late start to the day, we moseyed  on over to the park, which was a little snowed in, but still managed to have fun. We played around on this roller, which has probably changed by now I’m not sure.

So yea we got tired, thus a trip to Lupins ensued. Après ski consisted of some hearty poutine and a little present-scoping under the massive tree. Graeme thought he’d check it out.

Feeling pretty beat up from our extensive 4-run day, we headed home for some turkey and family time (mainly sleep though). Overall, a good day was had by all. I hope everyone has a marvelous new-years!

Hey it’s Cam!

Alright! So, after many attempts and failed trial runs, the account finally works! I may have, according to many of those who know me, a head full of sawdust, and my luck with blogging so far has been a direct result of it. Until now! I guess I should do this intro thing…

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Cam Harris. Locally grown, I have skied at Grouse Mountain basically for my entire skiing career, which began in a rather recent grade four. I did the race program on the mountain for a couple years, but very quickly migrated towards the park, having a budding and keen interest in big jumps and rails and what not. I’ve been hitting the park avidly for the past 4 years, and have never lost interest.

I love to bring up my camera and get shots of, well, basically anything around the mountain. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I also like to do a little video editing, provided there is some footy my buds can throw at me. Thanks guys!

I am super, super stoked to be working with the rest of my fellow bloggers. From what I’ve seen so far, this is going to be THE place to stay updated and get learned on everything park-savvy. Like everyone behind the blog, I will do my absolute best to throw some innovative and insightful words together, topped off with pics and the occasional fun, fresh edit. Count it!

So, until next time, I look forward to seeing all of you in the park soon. I’m that guy in the orange helmet, red jacket and white pants, most likely followed by some crazy guy with a cane and his Nikon Coolpix. Feel free to hit me up on Facebook and drop me a line!

Make it artsy, make it poppin,

Cam
