Showdown Over the City Finals

Here are some photos from the finals at the Showdown over the City. The jumps looked amazing! Saw some really sick floaty 540s on the first jump. It looked like a lot of fun.

March – Wanted List

Hudson Bay Company – Axe
Quiksilver – Mapocho Riding Shirt
Quiksilver – Travis Rice Bib Pant
The North Face – NSE Tent Bootie III
Poler Stuff – The Man Tent
Celtek – Trippen Mittens
Stanley - Classic 8oz Flask
Oakley – Terje Haakonsen Signature Splice Goggle
Juniper Ridge – Douglas Fir Sachet

I can’t believe its March. All I feel like doing right now is snowboarding, camping and hiking. A feeling that brought on inspiration for this months Wanted List. Mixing in some new stuff and classic stuff – I started it off with a Hudson Bay axe for wood choppin’ campfires of course. Next up is the Quiksilver riding shirt, wilderness inspired snow wear to wear under the Travis Rice bib snowpants. After a long cold day on the hill there is nothing better then some North Face slippers to bring up your core temps. If you decide to stay the night, the Poler Man Tent is great for solo excursions. On any solo excursion a classic Stanley flask is a great idea, and a warm pair of Trippen mittens. Next some Terje Haakonsen signature Oakleys and a sachet of Douglas Fir to throw in your bag keeping your gear smelling like the rain forests of the northwest- Man stuff.

New Snow!

There has been a lot of softer snow in the park these days, it’s real mellow! Here are a couple shots from last weeks shredding in the Quiksilver park. The set ups and conditions have been prime lately, nice and soft!

Trees looking awesome after some new snow.

The fun Double Shotgun bank at the end of the day.

All of this snow is going to make great conditions for spring riding….cant wait!

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!
