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.

Above the fog
Now I know it’s been said way too many times already, but if you get the chance, head up the mountain!!! I completely took for granted how good it was until I was above the clouds.
I had a few hours to kill before work on Monday, so I thought I’d push a couple laps through the Quiksilver Park. And what a treat it was! BIG up to the park crew; these guys have done a sick job at putting together what seems to be one of the best parks I’ve hit in a while on Grouse Mountain, and I’m sure many of you will agree. Anyways I met up with a friend and his buddy and managed to muck around, remembering that I still had my camera in my pocket. As you’ve probably seen in Scott’s photo (which by the way blew me away), this weather provides some epic light, be it day or night.
Anyways do yourself a favour and get up the hill! This weather is only going to last a few more days, so beat the clouds, the fog and the weird temps in the city, and head up for some mid-Jan spring skiing.
PEACE
Cam
