Fresh Season Fresh Photos

What’s up Grouse Park blog readers? Jason Macfarlane here to put out content for another season. If you’re new to grousepark.com, this is my third season writing for the blog. I am an 18 year old skier from North Vancouver, currently enrolled in my first year of university. This year I am also a part of the Park Crew staff on Grouse Mountain. So I’ll be writing about the park, helping to build, maintain and keep it running smoothly.

Lack of snow has been a bit of a challenge so far this year, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t pulled off some good features. The Park Crew have worked hard (which hasn’t been me so far so I can’t take credit for this) and have put together an awesome line of rail features in The Cut park. Jam packed, it is probably one of the jib parks with the best flow the mountain has ever seen.

Recently, Trint Thomas and I spent a few hours in the sun shooting some pictures and video clips. Here’s one of my favourites from that day.

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.

It’s On

It’s on. Another season of snowboarding on Grouse Mountain. Another year of tree runs, park laps, and powder turns. To introduce myself, my name is Myrosha Daley and I have been riding for almost 20 years, competitively for 15, and I have worked in the snowboard industry for nearly 10. I have been fortunate in my shred life to snowboard at many different mountain resorts. Grouse is still one of my favorite places to ride. It might be how close it is to my house. Or it might be how I can get a hot lap with rollers one run, and hit the park the next. It will be another year of getting off work, quickly grabbing my gear while eating dinner, and out the door to catch the Skyride tram for a night session. It will be another year of laughs on chairlifts, 9:30pm powder slashes and eventually slushy spring fun wearing jeans, a t-shirt and shades. When I really think about it, it makes sense. Another year of riding Grouse Park and I can’t wait.

"It's on"

This is my first year on the Grouse Park blog and I am stoked to be contributing and acting as editor. Hyped to join the team and bring you some killer features:

Real Talk – Interviews with snow pros and snow industry heads

Keep updated with us on the Grouse Park blog for these features, videos, regular posts from the contributors and more.

Happy Holidays,

Myrosha

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

Quiksilver Showdown Over the City

With the city in view, the Quiksilver Showdown ran full-blast last Sunday. All riders were throwing down and out of the many competitors, the results came down to Zach Stone landing the Best trick, Bobby Balharry placing third, Jeremy Cloutier placing 2nd and Eric Willet with the win.

With my t2i in hand and riders throwing down, I was stoked to get to film these guys. Check out the edit!

Dirty Stache Sunshine Sesh

Grouse Team rider Tamo Campos and the brawgs have been shreddin Grouse religiously recently, it’s the spot to ride when they’re not traveling around in the party van!

If you haven’t noticed this beast of a van in the parking lot take a closer look next time, trust me you won’t miss it, its the ultimate road tripper. Even go check it out, it’ll be the one with all doors open pumping Marley and if you’re lucky you can hook up a Dirt special (Lucky Lager and some KD) for $4 and hang out with the bro’s.

Anyways, they put together a banger edit, and it’s good times.

Here’s the Rusty Van blog! This site is a packed with so much good stuff (my personal favorite is their latest Interior trip edit) so stay up on it!!! www.dirtystashes.com
