Quicksilver Park
Here are a few shots from a mellow afternoon in the Quicksilver park! The snow that day was less than prime, but the set ups were proper and had flow – really fun. Everything is looking great up there, lots of options!

Grouse Park Playlist 3 – The Journey
Now that the holidays are over I am getting back into school and riding. I spent a lot of my time in December traveling. This Grouse Park Playlist is inspired by thinking about shredding while on the road. I spent 40 hours in a car from Calgary to southern Ontario in one long seamlessly never ending journey. This gave me plenty of time to reflect and go through my whole iPod, there were many songs that made me nostalgic of epic days on the mountain. I picked these songs in particular because they all have good vibes. While skiing and snowboarding there are many different styles of music to get into, and I am a fan of almost all music. When I’m not on the mountain these tracks seem like theme songs for the good days. They bring back all the good memories and in turn gets me hyped to go ride! It’s hard to try and pick a playlist that is good for riding, as everyone gets down to something different. This collection of songs can at least convey a feeling that you can relate back to being on the mountain with friends. In my opinion, now that the snow is flying, the good times must be just around the corner. See you out there!

Oakley Park Jams – Round 1
Oakley Night Jams - Round 1
The first Oakley Park Jam of the season kicked off last night in the Grouse Park. Clear skies made perfect conditions for the throw down and I was stoked to see the turnout and the level of shred at the jam format event. Over 50 skiers and snowboarders showed up to rip the park for prizes and bragging rights. The Park Crew started the crowd off at the rail features near the top of the park. The crew gave the park shreds a short period of time to jam on a decided jib to win prizes from Oakley. Good tricks were called out on the megaphone with the ‘Banger Siren’. After moving through a few rail features they finished off at the Cut Line kicker. And then it started puking snow. The Park Jams are open to everyone. There is no sign up or limited number of runs and anyone can play. All you have to do is show up and drop in on the feature that the Oakley crew and Park Crew call out over the mic. It is just a session like any session except during the jam the you can win prizes. Come out for the next Park Jam on Friday January 20th and don’t forget your tricks!
“Winner winner chicken dinner.” Here are a few of the riders and their banger tricks at the Jam:
- Drew Paxton (skier) – 270 on, Switch Up, Pretzel 270 off on the Flat Down Box
- Mike French (boarder) – 270 on, Swith Up, 270 off on the Down Bar & Hardway Back 180 on to Back 180 off *holy tech!
- Adrien Tognko (boarder) – 50 50 though the kink on the 39′ Elbow Rail to Front 360 off
GPC - Grouse Park Crew holding it down.
Lets squash all this Skier vs. Boarder beef and just ride together. These two are.
The Cut Line kicker was prime.
Now there is a ton of powder up on Grouse right now. So for today, get out of the park!

Hello!
Hello Everyone!
My name is Matthew Waring and this is my first year producing content for the grouse blog! I am exited to get this season going and to spend as much time as I possibly can up in the mountains. I am originally from Ontario and am currently going to school at Capilano University. I have been living in BC for 3 years, one in Whistler and two in Vancouver. My main passions are skiing and photography so I am happy to be able to combine the two using Grouse Park blog as an outlet. When I’m not in school you will see me in the mountains skiing, filming and generally having fun, because we live in an insane part of the world!
Here are a couple of clips from December in the Hike Park – One of the best parts about this set up is that you can re-learn all of those rusty tricks you may have lost from the summer. Perfectly mellow features to get tricks on, before taking them to bigger stuff. That’s it for now – see you up there.

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.

Good to be Back
Hey everyone, my name is Jeremy Cox. I have been involved with the Grouse Park blog for the past couple years, mainly focused on video. If it’s a sunny day and I am up the mountain chances are I will have my camera so feel free to say ‘hi’! Keep posted for, what I hope will be, some cool edits this season. I got a couple lap’s in with Zac Dolesky recently and here is a one run edit from the session.

Up and Running for the 2011-2012 Season!
I’m stoked to say that the Grouse Park blog is up and running for the 2011/2012 season! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Andrew Santos.
Grouse Mountain is pretty much a second home for me and I get up there as much as I can. This is my second year with the blog and this season, along with the crew of bloggers, I will be posting tons of new content so you know what’s going down in the park. The Park Crew has some sick new features that are just waiting to be seshed. If you haven’t checked out the Cut line yet, get up there. You won’t be disappointed. Here’s a shot by Kaz Yamamura of me on opening day:
If you see me give me a shout, I’m always down to do some laps. For now you can check out my Vimeo here and Look out for some more posts coming your way.
See you in the Park!
