Random Rambles II
Hiya folks, you know the drill.
Fellow blogger Dan Jonas and I were able to get out paws on some 2010 Ride gear to take to Grouse mountain. With the help of Rodrigo Caula, proprietor of Choice Apparel, and two femmes from Grouse’s local J-Crew, Alice Gorton and Sydney Schram, we were able to test the Crush, Machete and DH on the men’s side, and the Canvas and Compact on the women’s side as well as a bunch of bindings and those crazy light boots. Keep your eyes peeled for product reviews coming soon.
Speaking of Choice Apparel, the new product was shipped out last Wednesday and the line is officially launched as of March 11th. If you haven’t already done so, hit up the site and get your orders in via email at choiceapparel@hotmail.com!
Some more Choice news. Grouse Mountain pro team rider, Jenelle Pritchard is the first girl on the Choice team. Yay!
It’s been flaking kittens for the past week and that good ol’ west coast snow is covering the mountains. It’s wet, it’s heavy, and it’s so much fun. Get out and play in the trees, but don’t slow down or get stuck.
Is it just me or is that quarter pipe amazingly fun? Good job, park crew.
I currently have no park board due to base delamination. Lucky for me, it’s been pow so I’ve been able to get my 159 out of retirement. Anyone wanna help me out with something a little/a lot smaller?
I’m going to be sitting down with the founder of Spacecraft Clothing, Stefan Hofmann, for an interactive interview this weekend. For those that haven’t heard, Spacecraft is an art project using clothing as a medium. Go and check it out. The product is sick and the art is even better. They’re currently based out of Bali and keep a grassroots feel to everything they do. Pacific Boarder will be carrying the spring line, so make sure you go and take a look. I’ll have more on Spacecraft in the next couple days.

YLG update
I know, I know, I am a little late on this update, but I have been swamped with midterms, papers, term projects and many more non snowboarding related THINGS.
So, from what I remember, this was the 2nd stop on the Coors Light You look good rider’s cup series, and it was a 3 star ttr event. Scotty and I rolled up around 8 and registered, conditions were spectacular, BLUEBIRD.
Ran into a lot of grouse locals including Zak and Alek Dolesky, Michael Hoy, Nick Felice, some Grouse riders Jenelle Pritchard, Tamo Campos, Barry Hartman and Matt Belzile. The course was super sick, the jumps were small, but on point. The first feature was a staircase feature which included a downbar, down box and flat down box.

Wednesdays at Whistler
Alright all you fellers, here is an update from a couple wednesdays ago when myself and local Grouse shredder Alice Gorton went up to Whistler for the day. Conditions were sun, and lots of it and with lift lines being mellow due to being a weekday, we did HOT LAPS all day long!!!
Grouse local Alice Gorton on her way to killing it in the Whistler park under blue skies!!
They day turned out to be super fun and super mellow. Whistler’s park is more jib oriented and even more so with the lack of snow up there season. But this is no excuse for the Whistler Park Crew as all their parks are always fun and packed with features. Note worthy features were the really fun tables, multiple array of downbars, the corrigated pipe and picnic tables! Alice was killing it all day as usual. You can usually find Alice lapping the Quiksilver Park most days of the week and she was throwing down. Front lips, back tails, nose grabs and front boards were dialed that day.
We ran into former Grouse local Adam and Ryan and they enjoyed some good times with us.
Despite Adam's lack of expression, he was having a very fun day...right Adam!? 
Next lap we met up with Grouse Mountain Pro Team Rider Jenelle Pritchard and her best friend Stephanie Just, winner of last years Showcase Showdown.
Jenelle keeping it PG-13 for all the kids
We also saw Grouse Pro Team Rider Barry Hartman, but the guy is too fast and my coolpix skills are too slow!
To end the day, here are some shenanigans from some Whistler locals who dressed up for the sunshine! Enjoy!

You Look Good update coming soon!
PEACE, go snowboarding and/or skiing.
