| Grouse - 48 Hours of Winter
As a one year countdown celebration to the Olympics, Grouse will be open for 2 days straight. Quote:
Friday, February 13th to Sunday, February 15th
48 Hours of Winter Kicks Off 1-Year Countdown
Experience Around-the-Clock Alpine Activities at Grouse Mountain, Where Winter Never Sleeps
One of the most inspiring and anticipated dates in British Columbian history is now only one year away! At Grouse Mountain, that's cause for celebration. And celebrate we will.
As a kick-off to the one year countdown to the world spotlight shining on Vancouver, Grouse Mountain will keep its winter operation open for more than 48 hours beginning Friday, February 13th and going all weekend long. The adrenaline rush of snow sports will not cease even in the wee hours of the morning.!
For those who have ever wondered what it would be like to carve down a ski run as the sunrise frames the city in front of you, 48 Hours of Winter is the time to find out.
Highlights of 48 Hours of Winter include:
| http://www.grousemountain.com/Events...em02130901.asp Skiing/Snowboarding: non-stop from 9am-Friday to 10pm-Sunday
** a rotating run grooming schedule will be in effect over the weekend and will be posted on our run status boards
Who plans to go? I hate Grouse.
If it was free, maybe...but still, I hate Grouse.
The only thing I'd want is if the weather is nice, for someone to capture some sick sunrise shots with some boarders/skiiers blurred in the picture or something like that.

Curious as to why you hate Grouse. | Too many tourists. Runs are very unimaginative and plain.. and filled with loads of people.
The terrain park isn't bad, when it's set up though.

I went last year for the hell of it. I'm not a fun of Grouse either (crowded, runs are too short and boring) but there isn't many opportunities to snowboard in the middle of the night.
Last year, it was really foggy and icy. For the people that went up for the sleigh rides and skating, I think both were cancelled due to the foggy conditions. Way too many people early in the night but it did get better as it hit early morning.
What I didn't like much was it seemed a little disorganized. For the friends I went with that went for the skating and sleigh ride, they didn't know it was cancelled until we got to the top. The cafeteria was closed so everyone was buying from the mini cafe thing but almost all the sandwiches and drinks were sold out. By 3am, the lodge was packed with people sleeping on the floors lol. Long lift lines were made even more annoying with drunk guys and people at the front and back of the lines throwing snowballs.

grouse > cypress | Seymour keeps it real.
There are less posers dressed up with all their gear from Westbeach like you, thinking they're hot shit on a board, but they can't even fucking carve. Would that be you up at Grouse?
Spend your time [and money] on learning how to board first, then come talk shit.
Seymour > Cypress > Grouse. But that's just a personal preference and opinion. Quote:

LOL!!! cuz all the pros board at seymour right...
i dont board anymore only back in hs, $150 y2play season pass ftw
and funny cuz i was such a jew i had a shitty board and didnt even have snowboard pants/jacket... actually i still dont
only boarded for a 2 seasons but can land back flips 360s etc no problem, BEAAATCH
with the lift @ grouse u can get wayy more runs in if u bomb down the hill same speed as cypress, and theres always tons of untouched powder trails on decent snow days, you dont even have to go early to find them

Anyways...I don't want to fight with you on the internet. So let's just leave it at this. =]

ok grouse vs cypress is subjective, a lot of my friends that have been boarding since they were toddlers all prefer grouse > cypress, to be honest its not too different i just hate the chair cuz it takes fuckign forever.. and i also havnt been in like 4 years to cypress
seymour tho is just a phat drop... lil kids go to seymour to learn how snowboard/ski, when ppl talk about hitting up the slopes on the weekend, seymour isnt even in the equation
and scheng... dont talk.. why dont you go make some more threads about how to sit next to girls and initiate conversation on the bus LOL
