The boys are back in town
The Whistler boys were in town for a couple of days so I brought the 7D out to shoot some pictures with them up Grouse. The conditions weren’t the best but they were all throwing down regardless, stomping some of the best tricks these Grousepark features have ever seen. Like I said, conditions were not ideal but I managed a couple of alright shots regardless.
See you all at Showdown,
Frodo.

Seventeen Days
Hey guys, for some of you this post may be quite similar to one from a couple moths ago. Anyway here is the final version of the time lapse project my friend and I have been working on. Pretty much entirely diffferent from the original version. The project was filmed over the 2010 Olympics in many various locations across Vancouver. It was all filmed on the HVX – 200 in 2 fps and sped up in post. Hope you enjoy it and feel free to comment.
Thats all for now, check in later for a Whistler edit with Liam Casey and James Anderson.

This and that; GOOD TIMES
Hey everyone!
Grouse has been killing it lately, and there have been a lot of opportunities to free ride as well as hit up the Cut park and Paradise jib park. Last night, we mostly looked around for natural jibs and fun little side hits on expo. At one point, Reid Alex, Anthony Cervantes and I were riding up the Greenway Express chair. A small child decided that it would be a good idea to hop onto our chair last minute. He managed to get on half way, and we all tried to pull him up. By this point we were a little ways up, and without him saying anything, we had no idea what he was trying to do, so we held on. After about two meters, he jumped off and ducked just in time for him to miss the chair that was coming towards his head. I’m going to have to say that at the time it was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life and thank goodness he’s okay! Keep your kids on a leash! Haha, don’t actually. This was one of the exciting points of the evening, as well as scoping out some fun logs and natural stalls. By 7pm, the sun was starting to set, but the snow remained slushy and fun!
It’s awesome to see everyone having fun on all the local mountains, as well as Whistler! Heres a video of one of the best days in Whistler ever! Most people switched skis for snowboards and vice versa and had one of the funniest days filming ever. Ex-Grouse locals Liam Casey, James Anderson, Spencer Watson and Ryan Belich killed it, and make sure you watch to the end to see the banger! Enjoy!
Orage March Madness
This past Sunday, Vancouver’s only ski comp of the season, Orage March Madness, went down at Seymour. It was a perfect sunny day for a perfect comp. Unlike typical slopestyle format, 2 runs take your best score, this contest went down in jam fashion. Riders were assigned to categories and when your category was called you had 20 minutes to session anything on course on try to impress the judges. Good fun was had by all and in the end last year’s winner, Todd Loukras out of Rossland ended up reclaiming top spot with Peter Hunter, who had a, shall we say, different run coming in second and ex-Grouse local/now Whistler kid, James Anderson bringing up third place. Shout out to another ex-Grouse local, Liam Casey for claiming the best trick of the day and a new pair of boots with a lip-270 onto the down-flat-down handrail. Killing it.
As always, I had my camera out in full force, trying to get some shots. Not everything turned out the way I wanted, but here’s what I came up with.
Ryan Allan with a flat 540 over the jump
Liam Casey on attempt one of the lip-270 on. Ended up tacoing.
Peter Hunter on the closeout portion of the Vermont Double Set.
That’s all for now,

A New Home
Hey there!
Unfortunately, I haven’t had internet for the past week, but this weekend I did have the opportunity to ride some powder up in Whistler. I’m sure most of you remember former bloggers, park crew and Grouse riders Dan and Nathan Jonas, Scott Titterington, Liam Casey, James Anderson and Ryan Belich. This year, they flew from the Grouse nest and are all living together in a house in Alta Vista, Whistler. It’s been nice to catch up and ride some powder with them at their new home mountain. The six of them have been continuing to kill it in Whistler and after seeing them the past few weekends, it seems like their loving it up there. They’re all really cool guys and are doing great things up in Whistler this year. Here are some photos of what they have been up to lately, and also some shots from last year at Grouse.

Sunny Days and Fast Laps in Quik Park
The Quiksilver Terrain Park is running stronger than ever as we’re nearing the end of 2009. The sun has been shining almost every day and winter break has brought a few new faces to the mountain. I’m not in much of a writing mood as I’m about to head up the mountain, so I’ll let my photos do the talking. Enjoy.
