Good to be Back
Hey everyone, my name is Jeremy Cox. I have been involved with the Grouse Park blog for the past couple years, mainly focused on video. If it’s a sunny day and I am up the mountain chances are I will have my camera so feel free to say ‘hi’! Keep posted for, what I hope will be, some cool edits this season. I got a couple lap’s in with Zac Dolesky recently and here is a one run edit from the session.

GrousePark,
As you all know, Grouse has just about closed up shop for the season with one week left of riding!
Wanted to say that it was an awesome time getting to write for the park blog thanks to Grouse, the park crew, Oolar and the snow gods for making this season one of the best in a long time. I had a great time shredding Grouse riding with buddies and new buddies and stoked for more!
Make sure to get up for the last couple days, and if you can’t make it up to ALL of the remaining days get up for CLOSING DAY, and wear something rad! Tell all friends Grouse is going to be firing!!!
Look out for hopefully a few more edits either from me or any other of the righteous team of bloggers.
P.S. Jake Blauvelt’s Naturally series is one of the best I’ve seen in a while. Blauvelts riding style is ulike any other. Enjoy
See you at the slush,
Jean
January Edit
Had a well needed sesh up at Grouse last Thursday. With the sun shining, I couldn’t ask for anything better. I brought up my camera and thought I would make up an edit.
Here it is!

Sunny Sunday Edit
Grouse has been beyond amazing these past days. With the park being in great condition and the sun shining, I have been fortunate enough to get some riding in. Here’s an edit I made of a Sunday ride. Check it out!
Look out for more edits coming soon,

SNOWDEO !?
Coming this February, Snowdeo is a two day railjam competition happening at Swanguard stadium. That’s right Swanguard stadium is going to be turned into a full-on urban park with features including rails, fences, a wall ride, a step-down jump and more.
The railjam will be the biggest of its kind in the lower main land with riders from all across North America competing for $20,000 of prizes. The event will also include entertainment, a beer garden, and DJ’s such as My!Gay!Husband! and The Hood Internet.
Organizers are expecting crowds of 5,000 a day during the two day event and are hoping to make this an annual event for the following years.
Hailing from North Bay, ONT, Jesmond Dubeau will be participating in Rail jam, Snowdeo.
It’s going to be a killer weekend and there’s no doubt that the riders are going to be throwing down at this event.
For more Information check out www.snowdeo.ca
That’s all for now,
Andrew.

It’s Snowing, It’s Snowing!
Good news, there’s fresh snow on the ground. The recent dip in temperatures have resulted in a frosting on all the locals. Much needed frosting, to say the least. Let’s hope the temperatures stay low and the base starts to build up so the park crew can get more going in the Quiksilver park. Not to say what they’ve provided us with given the conditions isn’t absolutely phenomenal. You guys kill it! Anyways, that’s all I really wanted to say. Also, if you really want to know what my unfiltered thoughts are on snowboarding, the Olympics and life in general, feel free to get on Twitter and follow my useless banter or get in touch with me. Or don’t. Your call, really.
PS: I miss riding with Jordan Johnstone and Max Buchanan. If you’re reading this, go riding more.
Here are some more pictures from the Oakley Night Jam, taked by one of our latest additions to Grousepark.com, Hamish Baxter. Our bloggers kill it!

Whistler Day Trip
So, if you haven’t heard, Whistler is AMAZING right now. To take advantage of this fact, Frodo, Kyle Jasper, Matt Whelan and I headed up there yesterday and oh ya, it was perfect! Started off with some park laps and found that every jump was absolutely perfect so we sessioned them for most of the day. Since we were having so much fun, I didn’t even bring the camera out till about the 6th lap and only managed to get a couple decent shots before heading in for lunch. After lunch we went up the peak to shred some pow. It had been almost a week since the last storm and there was still plenty of fluffy white powder to float on. We were all pretty tired, so we decided to head down on a good note. All in all, the day was sick and everyone reading this should head up to Whistler before the huge crowds arrive because it’s prime right now. Here are the few shots I got this weekend and hopefully I’ll be able to shoot some deep pow slashes up Grouse soon!

Red Bull Cold Rush!
Checklist for greatest back-country competition ever:

- World class terrain? Check.

Its Red Bull Cold Rush time baby!
So c-c-c-cold. Source: newschoolers.com
For the third year in a row, the Red Bull Cold Rush went off in a way that no other competition can. With more fresh snow than the average person sees in their lifetime, this past week at Retallak Lodge proved to be the ideal location for the top freeskiers in the world to gather and throw down. And throw down they did.

Although the three day event was first and foremost a competition, most riders acknowledged it felt more like a big session with friends and filmers. At the end of it all, Kye Petersen of Whistler BC was awarded the top spot, proving that the youngins out there are hungry and ready to show the old timers what they can do.
Flipping his way into second place was veteran freeskier and newschool legend, JP Auclair. JP showed the world that he is far from finished and still a strong force to be reckoned with. Rounding out the podium with a solid performance was none other than back-country heavy hitter, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa.

Anyone want to go to Retallak?
