So here it is; my first post to Grouse Park. Being as none of you really know me, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Hamish and I’m Scottish. I grew up there, though I now live near Boston, MA. I started snowboarding in Waterville Valley (East Coast jeaa!), NH, and it wasn’t long before shredding began to take over my winters. I finished high school after a few years of being a weekend warrior and proceeded to spend the following year as a ski bum in New Zealand and Colorado.
Now, I go to school at UBC, which despite the work and classes, really isn’t all that far off from living like I did in a ski resort. I’m up at Whistler pretty much every weekend, and now, thanks to Sam as well as all of you reading this, am going to be spending a lot more time on the North Shore Mountains shooting photos… stoked! But rather than go on rambling, I’m going to leave you with two of my photos; the first is from the bottom of the world, and the second is from a more familiar place just up the road.
Enjoy.

Another Introduction
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bill Hawley. Born and raised seven minutes from the mountains in North Vancouver, I’m a new addition to the Grouse Park Blog and very grateful for it! As much as I’m new to the blog, I’m not so new to the mountain. I started skiing at Grouse when I was 3 years old and it just became the regular thing to do after school and on weekends. Things progressed from there and when I was about 12 years old, I picked up my parents little point and shoot camera, took a few pictures around the house to keep myself busy and that’s when I realized what I wanted to do for fun. Skiing and photography. Now, I’m finally starting to combine the two and it’s proving to be the most kick ass thing I know how to do.
So, now that you know who I am, don’t be shy if you see me up the mountain, I’m the guy wearing the bright blue jacket and pants looking like I shouldn’t be shredding the park. Come say hi and maybe strike up a conversation! The temperature’s dropping a little bit, so let’s be optimistic and say that’s a sign of snow on the way. Here’s some of my most recent shots to keep you stoked on the season, enjoy!

Hey Guys!
Hey there, my name is Jeremy Cox. I am stoked to be one of the 09/10 Grouse Mountain blogospondents and can’t wait to share the latest and greatest content throughout the year. Grouse Mountain has become my home mountain ever since I learned to ski at Mount Seymour and Whistler when I was five. Living 20 minutes away from Grouse I can often be found skiing or filming. I would consider filming my hobby and can commonly be seen carrying around a enormous camera bag as long as the the weather is good and the riders are there. I hope to pump out the edits all year long which will be posted on the FOURTYFOUR media Vimeo page and of course here.
On that note, be sure to check out the the new Voleurz Outdoor Graduation film this Wednesday during the online premier.
December 9th at 5pm PST / 8pm EST on Newschoolers.com. or the Voleurz site.
Thanks for reading,
Jeremy
Striaght Outta Compton.
Okay, so maybe just outta Whistler. The kids at PYP and all those local Coquitlam boys that moved up this season have been riding everyday so far this season, except for one day when Pat partied too hard and slept in. It’s been known to happen. Anyways, here is what they’ve been up on these past few bluebird days that we’ve had to kick off December.
So, the Jonas brothers snowboard. They managed to get some camera time with two of them in the park. Must be all that Peak Season fame.
Bluebird days call for Friday laps in the Blue park on Blackcomb. Here’s the full crew!
Enjoy!
