Showdown and After-Sesh
This last weekend marked the annual Showdown Over the City at Grouse Mountain. In past years Showdown has been more of a Big Air focus competition. But this year, with the change in venue from Lower Peak to the Cut, the course ended up being a legitimate multi-feature slopestyle instead of a one jump wonder. After the competition was over park crew Rob was kind enough to open up the jumps for some friends to get down on. Here’s some shots from the competition and the after-sesh. One more thing, big ups to Shayan for placing top 10 in the pro division, held his own against some big names, congrats man.
That’s all for now,
Frodo.

Hey grouse,
I am by no means a photographer but I decided to give it a go the other day. Here is what came out of a sick session with Tomas Smyth, Jonah Boretsky and a few others.

An Hour at Grouse
Heyo,
So I just recently purchased a canon t2i and went up last tuesday to get some shots. Although I didn’t get up to the mountain till about seven and with some major ski malfunctions from riders Tomas Smyth and Sam Fedak cutting the session short, I was still able to put together a short edit.
And with all the new rebuilds happening be sure to expect a whole lot more edits coming at you.
Simon.

Corkin’ with Turpin
What up Grouse,
Anybody who’s looking to step up their jump game and learn some corks this year should check this out.
It’s a quick trick tip from Armada’s Chris Turpin, who I was lucky enough to join on the chair and get some help with my own tricks. His coaching method seems to help people progress very fast, and he is very knowledgeable. If you really like his coaching style and want to meet him yourself, he coaches every summer at Momentum and can always be seen around Whistler in the winter.
And I have just come from a day in the Whistler parks, and I am proud to say Grouse’s rail lines at least as good at Whistler’s, even better in some aspects. Props to the park crew.
