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.
Later!

What’s up Grouse Park blog readers? Jason Macfarlane here to put out content for another season. If you’re new to grousepark.com, this is my third season writing for the blog. I am an 18 year old skier from North Vancouver, currently enrolled in my first year of university. This year I am also a part of the Park Crew staff on Grouse Mountain. So I’ll be writing about the park, helping to build, maintain and keep it running smoothly.
Lack of snow has been a bit of a challenge so far this year, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t pulled off some good features. The Park Crew have worked hard (which hasn’t been me so far so I can’t take credit for this) and have put together an awesome line of rail features in The Cut park. Jam packed, it is probably one of the jib parks with the best flow the mountain has ever seen.
Recently, Trint Thomas and I spent a few hours in the sun shooting some pictures and video clips. Here’s one of my favourites from that day.

First Daze First Post
The Cut Line is fun and the GoPro’s are out. 
My first post and first year with the Grouse Park blog. I am excited to be contributing and riding up at Grouse Mountain this season. Some background info on myself: snowboarding for over eleven years, blogging for about six and living in Vancouver for almost two. An enthusiast of all things culture, I plan on adding a fresh perspective and some frequent content to the blog — from ‘day in the park’ to product reviews, it’s going to be a fun season.
Inversion in the Park
Clouds covered the city, but that wasn’t the case for Grouse. Check out some shots taken on Sunday.

Showdown and After-Sesh
This last weekend marked the annual Showdown Over the City at Grouse Mountain. In past years Showdown has been more of a Big Air focus competition. But this year, with the change in venue from Lower Peak to the Cut, the course ended up being a legitimate multi-feature slopestyle instead of a one jump wonder. After the competition was over park crew Rob was kind enough to open up the jumps for some friends to get down on. Here’s some shots from the competition and the after-sesh. One more thing, big ups to Shayan for placing top 10 in the pro division, held his own against some big names, congrats man.
That’s all for now,
Frodo.
The boys are back in town
The Whistler boys were in town for a couple of days so I brought the 7D out to shoot some pictures with them up Grouse. The conditions weren’t the best but they were all throwing down regardless, stomping some of the best tricks these Grousepark features have ever seen. Like I said, conditions were not ideal but I managed a couple of alright shots regardless.
See you all at Showdown,
Frodo.
