The Junction

Vancouver freeski crew | Known for: small park films and crew tapes | Focus: Grouse and Seymour sessions with friends

The Junction is a small freeski crew and video channel connected to the Vancouver and North Shore ski scene. The entity should be treated as a crew or micro studio, not as a ski brand, apparel company or resort operator. Its public archive is compact, with the YouTube channel @thejunctiontapes listing four ski videos under the channel name The Junction. That limited footprint is enough to confirm a real ski identity, but not enough to justify a long legacy-style article. The best framing is local and film-based: friends filming park laps, short edits and seasonal tapes around British Columbia rather than a formal production company with a large catalogue.

The most complete public project is 21 Gun Salute, uploaded in 2021. Its description credits filmers Haruki van Veenendaal, Evan Friesen, Thomas Cok and Simon Burns, and lists skiers including Lochlan Wilson, Chris Grillman, Bryce Menning, Evan Friesen, Simon Burns, Ryder Bartlet, Marcus Vanheyst, Joel Macnair, Haruki van Veenendaal, Thomas Cok, Ronan Hoey and other riders. The same video names Grouse Mountain and Seymour Provincial Park as locations, while thanking Grouse Parks, Seymour Provincial Park and Lines Apparel. Other channel videos include Lochlan In The Wild, Leap of Faith and THERE'S A BEAR OUT THE DOOR RN, the last of which notes that its Grouse section took time to assemble. This gives The Junction a clear local identity around Grouse and Seymour rather than a generic ski-video label.

For Skipowd.tv, The Junction earns a 1/5 importance score because the crew is verified but has limited public information, a small upload count and no broad industry recognition visible from available sources. Its value is still real inside the site’s video ecosystem. Small crews like this document the everyday layer of freeski culture: friends meeting at local hills, filming each other, assembling short tapes and keeping regional park scenes visible. The Junction should therefore be described as a Vancouver-area freeski crew and tape-style video project with roots around Grouse and Seymour, not as Junction 133 and not as a major ski film studio.
