Olympic Torch Comes to Grouse Mountain
Yesterday, the Olympic Torch Relay made it’s way through North Vancouver and to the top of Grouse Mountain. The flame came up on top of the Skyride in the hands of Canadian National Halfpipe team rider, Justin Lamoureux. To mark the occasion, a torch snow sculpture was also made, visible right as you go over the second tower. Here are a couple pictures.
In other news, it was snowing pretty hard up there, and actually felt like winter. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t rain and crush all hopes.
Cheers,
Sam

Fight for Silver and Bronze
With less than a month to go till the Olympic halfpipe event, it seems like Olympic gold has already been decided before the torch even reaches Vancouver. Shaun White threw down a Double McTwist 12 in practice at the Grand Prix. Given that he doesn’t fall, come February, the race won’t be for gold. It’ll be a duel for runner up.
