It started snowing at about 8:15AM today (Oct. 26th 2011) By 3:00PM there was about 5cm of snow on the ground and it was still coming down, slowly but surely.

Get your gear ready, the seasons coming.

Park was rebuilt yesterday. All the rails up top are changed, added a few new rails throughout the park. Super fun hip put in, snow block step up/step down thing at the bottom

upper quik rebuild is done. pretty fun setup.

cut line is close to being done, a couple more days of work and it will be open. once thats finished then lower quik is getting a rebuild too. lots of work happening, couldnt give a date to everything being done as im not sure when we're going to be getting more cat hours, but hopefully by mid-late next week.

like %50 of the features fell over and the rest were unhittable without some serious work today. 3 days of warm rain on an already difficult to maintain park is not good.

one rail line got opened today, hopefully will get everything up and running for the weekend.

Grouse got 25cm in the past 7 days! Thats insane. Also new cut park right now consists of: [LEFT SIDE: 1 Down box, flat box, down box rail.] (MIDDLE: Down flat rail, close out rail with a down rail on the left of the close out, down rail.) There is also a down paneless rail sort of off to the right of the middle and also some little wall ride box thing.

Park crew says they are going to extend it to the bottom of cut with some jumps planned.

Im very curious to why you closed the jump. Is it because we were trannying over the rope onto the cut?

Since they moved the jump over to the right as far as it could go and melted the snow where we were trannying I can defs say thats why they closed the jump

Im pretty sure its going by weather right now. But this could be the last week, since the snow condition is getting very poor. Grouse will call the shot after this week. I doubt they will keep it open unless they push snow on the areas that need it the most.

Damn what a hell of a season! Going to miss all my homies for a while. Hopefully ill see you all up on the glacier, or how about another Seymour camp out? Amazing season, better be seeing most of you back next season. Time to spend the rest of my summer on NSG till next season. Props to Grouse park too, tremendous park this year. Its hard to see it all leave :(
