grouse has officially been titled the lower mainlands shittiest mountain by the georgia straight. not only that theyr park is gonna suck this year for 10th straight year in a row. thats even longer than cypress!!

why dont we all recognize grouse mountains accomplishment and never go there again.

HOOLY SHIT. I was up today, best day of the season, if not the best day for me on Grouse, ever. First tracks on outer limits were epic, pillow lines right and left along with a good 12-15 footer off of one pillow into pow and one gap at the bottom. Last run, me and my buddy cut into the trees on the left of purgatory and just kept cutting left and ended up way past outer limits in untracked pillow fields galore. It was a bit of a hike out but SO WORTH IT! If you decide to head out there, watch out for the deep tree wells at the moment due to early season conditions. There were a couple gullies to work around too. Knee deep pow and pillows though, its worth the risk.

All in all, an amazing day, wow. GET UP THERE!

There were some great lines to the left of outer limits... I came up a bit late and missed out on a lot of the freshies... too bad, I hope it snows soon!

How are the conditions up the mountain.. was it snowing or was it raining today? I never trust what mountains post on their conditions page... so your knowledge would be helpful.

The jump and gap to down box were 2 of my favorite features.


Here's an edit from a couple nights ago, bit too dark to be filming with a GoPro unfortunately

yep went up there today and everything was well maintained it was just hard as balls. But obvs that is no fault of the park staff, just brother nature.

Still loving the park right now esp the barrel tap

Apparently should be up in the next 2 weeks. Thursday is a build day so there is a (pretty slim) chance they do something then.. But it will most likely just be a Quik Park rebuild which I'm looking forward to

more snow is definitely needed for it to be the size they're hoping for. fingers crossed this 2 weeks of warm rain doesnt happen.

copied strait of grouse parks blog: I’ve also heard news that the park crew will be starting to push snow Thursday night getting ready for the Cut Jump Line, which they are hoping to have done by early next week.

were you up tonight? the jumps are being built.

it goes:
mellow 15-20, bigger step up, bigger step over, bigger step down. then it cuts back into the quik park after the small hip/pole jam, and you would ride out where the dfd and df used to be.

also, halfway between the old dfd/df and the down rail/elbow, they're gonna put a feature or two in there. hopefully the dfd/df combo

seymour park has about 3 features worth actually riding you can hit in a 15 minute lap

it does not hold a candle to grouse and i wish my friends had grouse passes so i could ride there instead :(
