As Friday afternoon was one of the first sunny days in a very long time, I decided to make a quick edit. I spent an hour filming with Jason, Shayan, Simon and Ben in the jib park. Hope you enjoy

Heads Up!
Yo,
Tomorrow is the second Oakley Night Jams. Same time as usual, 7pm. The location is going to be either the Quik Park or the Paradise Jib Park. Wasn’t that helpful? Anyways, chances are that if you’re at Grouse Mountain tomorrow night, you’ll hear where it is and you can just follow your nose, so to speak. I want to see the boarders repping harder this time around and I want to see someone other than Brian Choi win all the ski goods. Also, come say hi to me. I’m a pretty nice guy, usually.
Cheers,
Sam

Oakley Night Jams The First
This past Friday, Grouse Mountain kicked off its annual free contest series, the Oakley Night Jams. The format this season differed from the Night Jams of past years in that there was a dedicated setup for the event where the Paradise Jib Park used to be. For the first jam of the season, that park crew had setup at 16 foot butter box, a downbar of equal or greater value and a C-rail set up in a semi circle with lips at both ends for your jibbing pleasure.
The jam started of slow as kids began to trickle slowly in from around the mountain. Our own Charlie Grinnell spread the word through the Quik Park and gathered bodies from all around. Coastal Riders was on hand as the shop sponsor for this first jam. With Charlie on the mic, things quickly got popping as he made sure the event was ski friendly this time around. Grouse Mountain local Brian Choi cleaned house on the ski side of things, so we’re banning him from the next jam. Just kidding. In any case, the skiers were killing it all night on all the features. Trint and Shayan repped hard for the boarders, but all you boarders need to step your game up in time for the next Oakley Night Jam on January 8th. Here are some pictures from Friday night.

Quiksilver Park Open Top to Bottom
Lower Side Cut was opened today, expanding the Quik Park to its full season length. To think that last year on this day we had just opened Paradise with 4 features, and this year we’re boasting 19 between Paradise and Quik Park. Go snowmaking! A shout out to our snowmaking crew, without these guys, you’d be riding jib park for the foreseeable future. They have been absolutley killing it for the terrain park at Grouse Mountain this year. More features are being added almost daily, and I’ll have some pictures up here soon.
Seasons Greetings

Hello, My Name is…
Hello readers,
My name is Jason, or as most of my friends call me, Frodo, and I have been lucky enough to be chosen as one of the Grousepark bloggers this year. I am a skier and have been skiing at Grouse Mountain since I was about 4 years old. Luckily enough, I live a mere 15 minute bus ride away from the mountain, so if I am free, you can bet I will be skiing. I am pretty recognizable on the hill, with an outerwear look consisting of tight pants and tall tees. If you see me, don’t be shy and say hello! Another thing I can usually be recognized by is a camera in my hand. I love to shoot pictures and if the weather is good chances are I won’t be caught up Grouse Mountain without my camera.
Speaking of pictures, here are some fresh pictures from the other day in the park.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading,
Frodo.
