DC Scavenger Hunt & 24 Hours of Winter
We went up to Grouse for the 24 Hours of Winter to try our luck on the DC Scavenger Hunt. We searched around the whole mountain but our eyes were not peeled enough to find one. The hidden frisbees, if found, were redeemable for prizes in the lodge! Lots of people were on the lookout and the frisbees were being tracked down left and right. Unfortunately I guess I don’t have the right skills for this game, but many were very successful on the foggy night!
The Canucks game had begun in the mist with snow-made stands.
Runs were fun to rip around, the snow was soft and the bumps were prime! Shreddable all night.
This dude was hyped on his find!!

Sunny Park Laps @ Grouse Park
Straight from the Quikpark
I have to say that both the Cut Line and Quikpark are prime right now. Did a couple laps yesterday and I was having way too much fun. I brought out the camera for the last run. Here are the results.
These are only three of the many features that are up right now. Come up and check it out! Photo creds to Kaz Yamamura and a big shout out to the Park Crew.

Hello!
Hello Everyone!
My name is Matthew Waring and this is my first year producing content for the grouse blog! I am exited to get this season going and to spend as much time as I possibly can up in the mountains. I am originally from Ontario and am currently going to school at Capilano University. I have been living in BC for 3 years, one in Whistler and two in Vancouver. My main passions are skiing and photography so I am happy to be able to combine the two using Grouse Park blog as an outlet. When I’m not in school you will see me in the mountains skiing, filming and generally having fun, because we live in an insane part of the world!
Here are a couple of clips from December in the Hike Park – One of the best parts about this set up is that you can re-learn all of those rusty tricks you may have lost from the summer. Perfectly mellow features to get tricks on, before taking them to bigger stuff. That’s it for now – see you up there.

It’s On
It’s on. Another season of snowboarding on Grouse Mountain. Another year of tree runs, park laps, and powder turns. To introduce myself, my name is Myrosha Daley and I have been riding for almost 20 years, competitively for 15, and I have worked in the snowboard industry for nearly 10. I have been fortunate in my shred life to snowboard at many different mountain resorts. Grouse is still one of my favorite places to ride. It might be how close it is to my house. Or it might be how I can get a hot lap with rollers one run, and hit the park the next. It will be another year of getting off work, quickly grabbing my gear while eating dinner, and out the door to catch the Skyride tram for a night session. It will be another year of laughs on chairlifts, 9:30pm powder slashes and eventually slushy spring fun wearing jeans, a t-shirt and shades. When I really think about it, it makes sense. Another year of riding Grouse Park and I can’t wait.
"It's on"
This is my first year on the Grouse Park blog and I am stoked to be contributing and acting as editor. Hyped to join the team and bring you some killer features:
- Real Talk – Interviews with snow pros and snow industry heads
- Playlists – New tunes for your park riding pleasure
- Trick Tips – Delivered to you from the Grouse Park Crew
- Game of D.I.C.E – You’ll have to wait and see…
Keep updated with us on the Grouse Park blog for these features, videos, regular posts from the contributors and more.
Happy Holidays,
Myrosha
Spring Break Shake
Joy footage and Cut Stone productions have been killing it lately. Every single edit that has been coming from both of the crews have been sick, not to mention they are all shot on our local mountains. Here’s their latest edit, Spring Break Shake. Check it out!
PS. Grouse has been getting tons of snow lately, and it’s April! chyea.
