One warm day at Grouse, we found the park had melted. So, as the sun set, we pulled out the camera, played on this rail and had just as much fun. Check it out!
Keep it real Grouse!

Get Your Sunny Spring Laps In!
You may all have heard this already, but Grouse is going to stay open till May2nd. And yes, there will be a park on Cut as long as there’s enough snow. Either way, Grouse is going to be the place to be on the North Shore till May starts. Get up and get shredding. I went up last night with Grouse local, Callem Peake, and it was a beauty. The sun’s out longer and the snow is staying softer later into the night. you have no excuse not to be there.
Cheers,
Sam

This and that; GOOD TIMES
Hey everyone!
Grouse has been killing it lately, and there have been a lot of opportunities to free ride as well as hit up the Cut park and Paradise jib park. Last night, we mostly looked around for natural jibs and fun little side hits on expo. At one point, Reid Alex, Anthony Cervantes and I were riding up the Greenway Express chair. A small child decided that it would be a good idea to hop onto our chair last minute. He managed to get on half way, and we all tried to pull him up. By this point we were a little ways up, and without him saying anything, we had no idea what he was trying to do, so we held on. After about two meters, he jumped off and ducked just in time for him to miss the chair that was coming towards his head. I’m going to have to say that at the time it was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life and thank goodness he’s okay! Keep your kids on a leash! Haha, don’t actually. This was one of the exciting points of the evening, as well as scoping out some fun logs and natural stalls. By 7pm, the sun was starting to set, but the snow remained slushy and fun!
It’s awesome to see everyone having fun on all the local mountains, as well as Whistler! Heres a video of one of the best days in Whistler ever! Most people switched skis for snowboards and vice versa and had one of the funniest days filming ever. Ex-Grouse locals Liam Casey, James Anderson, Spencer Watson and Ryan Belich killed it, and make sure you watch to the end to see the banger! Enjoy!

Thrasher’s Hall of Meat: Jake Carmichael
Park ranger Chris Dedinsky sent me this gnarly video. If you think you’ve had some pretty hard bails on a snowboard, here’s an example of why skateboarding is, and will always be, more badass than anything on snow.

Second Oakley Night Jam
Hey everyone,
So if you didn’t know, this past Friday was the second Oakley Night Jam of the year. Hosted in the Quiksilver Park, there were plenty of features to hit. The jam took place on the Flat Down and the Up Box, providing great fun for all. Congrats to everyone who killed it, I hope you got your prize. The prizes included the Oakley wallets, backpacks, laynards, toques as well as POW spring gloves. The final prize included 10 Boardroom gift cards which were given out to just about anything ‘unique’. The Jam was wrapped up with a raffle for a pair of Oakley Sunglasses and the new Shaun White A-frames. Be sure to come out to the next jam February 5th, 2010.

Outdoor Graduation Bail Scenes
Hi,
This is from Voleurz:
We put together a montage of less-than-par clips from 2009. Usually big fancy super-corporations like us would hide such footage as this, but the humor got the best of us.
So here it is… kersmashes, ball-boinkers, snaps, crackles and some pops from the film Outdoor Graduation:
Love,
Chuck

Alterna Shoot
At the end of the 2009 season, I was invited to film the Alterna Shoot alongside Charlie Grinnell. This was an amazing experience involving superb riding, course and location. The weather was in our favour, providing the shoot with soft snow and the occasional cloud. As both days came to a close, my P2 cards had been filled and I knew I had something. Here’s the edit of what I came up with, hope you all enjoy it.
