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.

Urban with Voleurz…
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to tag along with Chuck for a few hours of shooting urban rails up in Whistler for the new Voleurz flick. After setting up one gnarly rail, it started to dump snow so speed became an issue. Luckily, the lone rider for the day (and Grouse pro team member) Barry Hartman scoped out a down rail nearby with a natural drop in. After setting it up, half an hour was spent hitting it till Barry got the shot for the 2 filmers. I, of course, was shooting photos. Here’s what I came up with.
