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.
Funlaps With FRODO
Hey guys hope you all had a good break. I was up with Jason MacFarlane (AKA Frodo) at the beginning of the holidays and filmed two laps top to bottom with him. On the first run, he decided to switch up his usual style and swap his fitted jacket with my enormous one. For his second run, we changed back. I was able to string together a small edit. Enjoy!

Go Pro!
Have you ever claimed an epic line just to be shot down by non-believers? Or wanted to have your own personal filmer but no one’s down to miss out on laps? Well, the new Go Pro Hero is basically the best POV camera money can buy. It records on SD cards, is shockproof and waterproof, so you can take the gnarliest of falls and know you got the footy! The only real disadvantage to this camera seems to be the lithium-based AAA batteries, which it kills quickly, but that aside, this camera is the only way to go for you POV fans out there.
Check out Tom Wallisch absolutely slaying some runs at the Breckenridge Dew Tour stop, entirely shot on GoPro cams mounted on a ski pole and the helmet of the man himself.
Keep it real Grouse!
