Night Sesh!
Why not head up to Grouse for a Night Sesh? Here’s an edit I threw together from a quick after school shred last Wednesday with Mike, Dylan, Logan, Shawn, and Ryan. Enjoy!
PS. More snow is in the forecast and the Y2Play is Back! Check it out here for a killer deal on a seasons pass!
Peace!

DC Scavenger Hunt & 24 Hours of Winter
We went up to Grouse for the 24 Hours of Winter to try our luck on the DC Scavenger Hunt. We searched around the whole mountain but our eyes were not peeled enough to find one. The hidden frisbees, if found, were redeemable for prizes in the lodge! Lots of people were on the lookout and the frisbees were being tracked down left and right. Unfortunately I guess I don’t have the right skills for this game, but many were very successful on the foggy night!
The Canucks game had begun in the mist with snow-made stands.
Runs were fun to rip around, the snow was soft and the bumps were prime! Shreddable all night.
This dude was hyped on his find!!

Oakley Night jam!
You can’t find a jam like this anywhere else. As you probably already know, this past weekend Grouse opened for 24 Hours and held three Oakley night jams in one Night! Including a 12pm to 2am sesh. There was a great turnout and the fog rolled out just in time for the most of it.
I brought up my camera and got to film the Oakley night jam and take some laps with Shawn Greenside and fellow park blogger Dylan Gillespie. Having an all round good night, I couldn’t have been happier with the shots I got. I was also stoked to see all the guys out there filming, look out for those edits coming soon, I know I will. Once again props to everyone who participated in the jam, you guys killed it. Here’s my edit I threw together, check it out!
Slushy Deliciousness!
On Tuesday last week, Jack, Nick, Reid, and myself made our way up the rally course that is the road to Seymour, for some after-class shred action. Not exactly sure what to expect (as university students, we’re apparently still unable to check forecasts), 
we were greeted by slushy, drizzly, warm springtime conditions… a bit like summer, really. Needless to say, we forgot our shorts. However, the park was fun, no one was on hill, and the only people in the lift lines were two frenchmen chatting away the hours to each other. We all seemed to get lost in the quiet of this deserted mountain playpark, hot lapping and jibbing with ouropen jackets battering against the wind. At 10pm I remembered I’d brought the camera, so the few shots below are what came of it, after begging the one lone ski patroller to let us get just a few more frames before everyone went home. Great times.
Oakley Night Jams: Numero Uno
For those of you who weren’t aware, Friday night was the inaugural Oakley Night Jam of the season, brought to you by Coastal Riders and, of course, Oakley. The cold temperatures may have kept many riders at home, but for those that came out, I’m pretty sure it was a good time. Coastal had a couple boxes full of goodies such as shirts, belts, and a pair of goggles to be given away.
The jam itself got off to a slow start, but eventually picked up as the loot started getting alittle more scarce. It was fun to see those new to the park scene pushing themselves and the up and comers throw down. The format was simple. They called out a trick to be done on the 40′ box in the Quicksilver Park and first person to nail it got a prize.
Don't look so surprised, man. That little frontside board DID just get you a Forum tee.
If any of you know who this rider is, please, let me know so I can throw his name on here.
For those that missed out, this was unfortunately the last Night Jam of 2008. They’ll be back in the new year, trying to convince you that Santa still exists with prizes and high fives aplenty. Till then, up your arsenal and head back in January with a fresh bag of jibtastic flavour.
PS: Ditch the park gear and go play in the pow tomorrow!
[Catch phrase here] I’ll come up with something, don’t worry.
