Summary of the ski resort Grouse Mountain

Description Grouse Mountain

From North Vancouver, the Grouse Mountain aerial tramway departs—one of the largest cable cars in North America, with a capacity of 100 people. Running parallel to it is the older aerial tramway, which operates only during peak times. Once at the top, you need to push a short distance along "Chalet Road" to reach the slopes. There, you first carve down the easy "The Cut" slope before taking the detachable four-seater chairlift "Screaming Eagle" a bit higher than the top station of the aerial tramway. To reach the "Blueberry Bowl," at 760m the lowest point accessible by skis, you continue over additional difficult and intermediate runs. The detachable four-seater chairlift "Olympic Express" takes you all the way up to "The Peak" at 1250m. From up here, you have a magnificent view of Vancouver and, on clear days, you can even see the mountains on Vancouver Island. This is also the starting point for the steepest runs in the ski area. "Purgatory" and "Devil's Advocate" are very steep, ungroomed glade runs down into the Blueberry Bowl. For beginners, there is the four-seater chairlift Greenway Chair near the aerial tramway for practice. Unfortunately, there is no run down to the valley, so after winter sports you always have to float back down with one of the two aerial tramways. Thanks to excellent lighting, the lifts are open late into the night, and once it gets dark, you have a wonderful view of Vancouver’s many lights. For a break, the Peak Chalet restaurant at the top station of the cable cars is recommended.
