North Shore ski scene | Active public archive: 2026 | Known for: CHEF crew appearance, Grouse Mountain park footage | Current: crew-video skier
Finian SL appears in the CHEF crew video the browns, a short “last days of Grouse” edit built around spring park laps at Grouse Mountain. The project places him inside a North Shore freeski setting with Will Penrose, Stephen Siska, Haruki Van Veenendaal, Alex Thucydides, Jarl Whist, Travis Reid, and Finn Case. That context points to a skier connected to Canadian crew-video culture rather than a formally documented contest pathway.
The available archive is narrow, but the setting is clear. CHEF’s Grouse footage usually revolves around park features, handle-tow laps, soft spring snow, short rail lines, and friends filming friends before the season closes. Finian SL’s confirmed appearance belongs to that same environment: a local, collaborative style of freeskiing where the session matters as much as the individual trick. The video was filmed by Nick, Josh Nicholson, and Will, which also keeps the profile tied to CHEF’s regular production circle.
For skipowd.tv, Finian SL should be tagged carefully as a low-profile crew-video skier connected to CHEF and Grouse Mountain. Future updates should track new CHEF releases, additional Newschoolers appearances, and whether the alias “Finian SL” is later connected to a fuller public athlete name, sponsor profile, or dedicated ski part.
