I went to SFU last year tons of rails there, but there's a million security men walking around.

As for local hills seymore is best,dont even bother going to cypress. I normally would go to Grouse cause it the only that the city bus goes directly to.

go to seymour. so many chill people. best park on the shore. basically it is the best.
as for gettin there, bus to the bottom of the hill. and then hitchhike up. i managed to ski over 100 days at seymour and i hitchiked for more than 80 of them, it works out quite well. or drive a car.

Ill tell you about Seymour cause i know nothing about grouse.

The parks crew is soo slac, im sorry to say sometimes its terrible but i htink they're going to be onn the ball this year.

Seymour has crazy amounts of rails, and held only 2 tables of moderate size and a step up. Then we had a smaller park on a diff chair which had 2 small tables with a bunch of rails.

As stated before Seymour is mostly rails at the moment. It may change.
And the chairs are terrible.

Seymour lost their only good park guy.
The park was mediocre this year. Alot of it was fun, but some of the features sucked.
Grouse never has good park crew. But graham is on it this year, so maybe that'll help.
Grouse is best for night riding. You can do crazy fast laps and good lighting.

i go to grouse cuz it is cheap for the y2play pass and that the mountain has it all. its got some steepish black diamond runs and fun groomers and a pretty good park. the thing that sucks about grouse is that they dont use all their rails like the s rail and a few other sick looking ones and the tables kinda sucked. grouse has the WORST line ups on weekends but on weekdays its usually pretty good and u can get in alot of laps. the park is pretty fun once they get it up. seymour had a pretty big table or 2 and some cool rails way before grouse even thought about making a park. i hope this year grouse puts big tables like a few years ago and put in multiple take offs on them and also set up all their rails. like how hard is it to dig in a rail and put a jump onto it? but anyways welcome to van.
