You Asked For It! How BYOP Came To Be:

WWW.BYOP.CA

We’ve always been proud of our terrain. We put a lot of work into it and we know the people who work around the clock to make it what it is. Also, with so many years behind us and so many people sessioning our parks every season, we figure we’ve got a good thing going.

But the real question is: what do you think? So we thought we’d better ask you. And you responded. You really responded.

Our Terrain Parks survey at the end of last winter season generated the fastest and largest response of any winter survey we’ve ever done. We could not have asked for better, more honest, open or constructive feedback.

In fact, you gave us so many ideas and so much input that we decided to do something completely different this winter: let you build the parks. I mean, why not, right? You ride it, you know it, and if you build it, chances are it’s going to be exactly what you want.

From that same survey we learned that the majority of you want to be more involved with the park design process as well as want a reliable feedback system. These will be the two main goals behind the BYOP program.

Through a series of surveys and update videos on our YouTube channel, we’ll not only build what you ask for, but we’ll show you the progress, challenges and successes behind the Grouse Mountain Parks.

And we’re sorry if this sounds harsh, but a large number of you don’t know what’s actually involved in building a park, i.e. tools, machinery, groomer and man hours, safety considerations and standards. Prepare to see for yourself!
