Johnny Lyall Opens the Olympics
If you caught the opening ceremonies last night, you probably saw the opening snowboard sequence in the backcountry. If you were wondering who exactly dropped in through the rings with that burly indy, it was Grouse Mountain’s own Johnny Lyall. With a little help from Katal Innovations, makers of the big air bag, Johnny was able to air through the Olympic rings and ride out onto the floor of BC Place with the eyes of a few billion people on him. Here a picture from Matt Houghton’s blog on Push.ca.
Atta boy, J-Bone! Hope you’re having a good time in Barcelona.

Reminiscing…
Thought I would post this link on the blog. This winter was a great season to shred the local mountains and ride good powder. For a week straight I had the pleasure of riding Grouse every morning with Devun, The guy i’ve looked up to ever since I started snowboarding. It snowed every night and we woke up early every morning for the first tram ride up… then we would ride Olympic chair until our legs were wobbly. It was an amazing week! This is a little clip that Karl from ISdesgin put up on his blog.

Grouse Vacation!
Went up to Grouse Mountain the other day with some of the 8mile homies Dufficy, Kale, Dionne, Mikey Rencz, Benji Ritchie, and Paavo filming a bit for some of our new web videos! It was a blast! We were joking about how it was like a Vacation up at Grouse because it’s was sunny and hot … meanwhile it was cold and cloudy down in Vancouver. Here are a few pics of the hang and a little video clip of kale doing a lap!
The Boyzz love the wings at Altitudes bistro!
Hanging above the clouds!
Kale brought up his whole family! Grouse is fun for all ages!
