An Hour at Grouse

Heyo,

So I just recently purchased a canon t2i and went up last tuesday to get some shots. Although I didn’t get up to the mountain till about seven and with some major ski malfunctions from riders Tomas Smyth and Sam Fedak cutting the session short, I was still able to put together a short edit.

And with all the new rebuilds happening be sure to expect a whole lot more edits coming at you.

Oakley Jam: Grouse Mountain

So last Saturday the first Oakley Jam of the season took place. The good turn out made up for the horrible weather. Check out the edit below to see what went down. If you havent yet made it up to grouse for the re – built park be sure to head up.

A weekend at Grouse and Seymour

HDDSLR’s seem to be taking over the video scene with Canon leading the charge. A friend of mine, Cole Jandrisch, got himself a 60D just after Christmas and has been getting behind the lens whenever he can. This past weekend we filmed an afternoon at Seymour and a day at Grouse, and here’s what Cole made of it. The riders are myself, Cole Jandrisch, Blake Kurchak and Andrew Wynnyk. Check it out.

That’s all for now, expect some more photos soon.

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!

Happy Holidays

Hey there, it’s Jeremy here checking in for my second year of blogging with the Quiksilver Park at Grouse. I am generally regarded as a filmer, always down to shoot as long as the weather is good. This year I’ll be wearing a red jacket above black plants, fairly baggy. Feel free to say hi. Throughout the holidays I have been taking advantage of the amazing weather we have been having for the past week. As of the holidays I have finally been able to get some time to ski and film enough for a decently sized edit. The edit includes, in order of appearance Frodo, Brian Choi, Joe Mickelson, Simon Stulberg and Ben Neil (props to the huge backflip over the hip). I hope you enjoy it. As well I have been working on a RC Heli + Go Pro cam setup. I took it up Grouse the other day, however crashed it early on causing gnarly vibrations throughout the rest of the day. I will be getting that dialed in throughout the week so check back later for updates.

Schools Out!

Hey gang,

For most of you, including me, the coming up weeks are a sacred time of year. For a little over two weeks, young skiers and snowboarders get to put away their school books to shred their hearts out. It’s winter break! As you probably noticed, today was especially nice out, the sun was shinning, the birds were singing, and tricks were being stomped left right and centre. When I got up to the mountain, my jaw nearly hit the ground as I did my first lap through the quicksilver park checking out all the new features that were perfectly set up overnight. The park has variety, fluidity, perfectly set-up features, basically the sickest park I have ever seen grouse produce. Unfortunately right now I am on the injured list because two sundays ago, a certain flat rail and I weren’t getting along, which resulted in three broken bones in my hand. However, I came up with my camera to get some shots with a few of my friends. I hope everyone has an awesome holiday, and get’s the chance to check out the park. Big ups to the park crew and look out for an edit dropping real soon.

Cheers!

Simon.

Weekend Edit

It’s dumping snow here right now at Grouse and now that we are putting a mellow week behind us, it’s about time that we’ve got some snow. Despite all the rain and slush, I had time to get some weekend laps in with my buddies. I was stoked to get some footy with my new camera and make an edit.
Check it out!

Look out for more edits coming soon.

An Introduction: It’s Dylan!

Hey all,

My name’s Dylan Gillespie and I’m super stoked to be one of the Grouse Park bloggers for this season! I’ve been skiing Grouse all my life, and got into the park/freeski scene a few years ago, though I love doing anything with skis on my feet. I live really close to Grouse, so you can be sure to see me lapping the park on weekends and after school. If you see me, stop me and say hi! I’m usually wearing a orange jacket or black hoody, and blue pants. I always enjoy meeting someone new and spining laps with another stoked rider!

Now overall, the weather’s been pretty good this season which has let the Grouse Park Crew put together an AMAZING park setup, week after week. Add a bunch of new and improved features for them to work with, and you’ve got one of the best parks Grouse has seen in a long time. So be sure to get up there as soon as you can and check out either the Quiksiver Park or the Paradise Jib Park, both of which are sweeeeet right now.

I will be posting numerous edits, photos, and videos thoughout the season, and you can check those out on my Vimeo page and my Flickr page (which shall be set up with content in the near future).

In the mean time, here are a couple of my favourite photos from my past season.

I’m not going to sit here and claim I’m any good at photography, because I’m not. I’m really hoping to improve this year, because right now, I can’t tell the differance between f-stop and flash sync. But very, VERY rarely I can sometimes click the shutter button on my Casio point-and-shoot at the right moment, which I was luckily able to do here.

That’s all I got for now guys, but keep checking back for more great updates from me and my fellow bloggers.

Peace!

An Update from GROUSE

There may not be as much snow on the hill as this time last season, but that hasn’t stopped park crew from keeping this running smoothly. If you haven’t been up lately, you’re missing out. The park has something this season that it has been struggling with the last few years, flow. A few new additions to Grouse’s park crew have helped keep this flow in the park. The other night I got up the mountain and did a few photo laps with Shayan, Park Crew Conrad and new Park Crew Anthony. Anthony and I had a bit of a close call with him almost landing me. I was shooting with a fisheye lens and, as anyone who has shot with a fisheye lens can tell you, it makes things appear to be much farther away. Due to this, I couldn’t tell just how close Anthony was until I felt him tap my backpack on the way down. Anyways, here are some shots from the night.

That’s all for now,

Whistler Day Trip

So, if you haven’t heard, Whistler is AMAZING right now. To take advantage of this fact, Frodo, Kyle Jasper, Matt Whelan and I headed up there yesterday and oh ya, it was perfect! Started off with some park laps and found that every jump was absolutely perfect so we sessioned them for most of the day. Since we were having so much fun, I didn’t even bring the camera out till about the 6th lap and only managed to get a couple decent shots before heading in for lunch. After lunch we went up the peak to shred some pow. It had been almost a week since the last storm and there was still plenty of fluffy white powder to float on. We were all pretty tired, so we decided to head down on a good note. All in all, the day was sick and everyone reading this should head up to Whistler before the huge crowds arrive because it’s prime right now. Here are the few shots I got this weekend and hopefully I’ll be able to shoot some deep pow slashes up Grouse soon!
