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!

Walrus Design: Let’em Have Fun Contest
Hey folks!
For those of you that haven’t heard, I’ve recently started my own clothing company. I’m super stoked on this project finally taking off after a 3 year planning process. Before you get the wrong idea and think this is a “Look at me!” post, let me say that Walrus Design has finally taken off and there’s some hype around it. The team is growing and it contains an impressive line up of riders too! Okay, now you can think that this is a “Look at me!” post. However, I’m gonna make it worth your while.
This contest is specifically for the readers of Grousepark.com. You’ve been reading all season, and we here at the site value that. We’d have no jobs if you all didn’t read what we had to write. To show you that we feel the love, Walrus is giving out some shirts. All you have to do is, as the title states, go have some good, clean, PG-rated fun. Make a video or take a picture of you and your friends hanging out, going skating, singing along to Don’t Stop Believing by Journey really loud or exchanging high fives. Maybe all of the above! If you’re having a good time, I wanna see it.
All pictures MUST be in .jpeg format (if they’re not, I’m not gonna look at them, sorry…I’m lazy.) and all videos must be posted on a vieo hosting somewhere on the interwebs (YouTube, Vimeo etc.). You can email the pictures and links to sam@grousepark.com. Contest closes on May 18th, so get your submissions in before then. Top three submissions get gear and extras. Now go have some fun!

Get your Walrus on!

All eight?
Hi there friends,
For those that have lurked Newschoolers recently, you’ve probably come across the “All Eight” video of Tom Wallisch. If not, watch it now. I just can’t understand how this guy makes rails look like nothing. All eight refers to the 8 different switch up to 270 out variations one can do on a single rail. He does this in a single run. Yikes.
So get out there and get practicing kids. Keep in mind that Tom Wallisch only started park skiing a few years ago. It evidently didn’t take much time before he started destroying the competition.

Grouse 48 hours with Dan and Tan
Hey everyone, I know that it is a week since 48 hours at Grouse and I haven’t written an update about it, so here it is!
We arrived Saturday evening around 8pm and upon getting our passes scanned, we had to go through the security checkpoint. Here is my neighbor Corey Mcintosh, who came up with me and Tanya starting the night off right with a huge smile…as he is about to get frisked by security.
Corey Macintosh loves Grouse Mountain
No alcohol for you Corey, aka CJ, aka 25 year old woman ANDREA. (long story)
As the night went on, crowds came and went, snow was hardpacked, a little icy in some spots but not too bad at all. Saturday night proved itself to be a much more mellow night than the one previous.
Corey, my girlfriend Tanya and myself met up with Grouse’s very own Charlie Grinnell and Rod Caula and got some filming done. Since the lines were mellow we did about 2-3 hours of follow cams while Charlie camped out at the second jump. At first we filmed with a wide angle lens which is a little harder to film with compared to a fisheye because with a fisheye you can pretty much point it at the rider and he will be in the shot while a wide angle lens consists of a little more effort to get the shot.
Once we were too tired to film, as it was around 3 AM, we split up and rendezvoused back at the chalet. After picking up our care packages (Thanks Michelle Evans!) we set up camp at a table. Charlie took his laptop out and we proceeded to upload the footage and started editing. Charlie’s energy drinks were keeping him go, meanwhile I was experiencing the crash and burn effect from the Rockstars.

My beautiful T and her tea!
The good and bad of editing in one picture
And in case you missed it on Charlie’s post, here is the finished product! Enjoy!

At about 4am Tanya, Corey and myself decide to part ways with Rod and Charlie, and stop by the DC kitchen on our way to the tram.
Tan and CJ checking out the DC Enjoy the Ride More Booth
These 4 guys were pretty much spooning eachother at 4 in the morning
And the last highlight of the night was going down the tram weith the best trammy on Grouse, Mckenzie!
Couple of energy drinks and you're good to go!
Overall, Grouse Mountain’s 48 hours of Winter was a great success. Good times were had, old friends were embraced and new friends were made. Thanks for the good times!
Until next time…PEACE
