Opening Friday for the 83rd Winter Season!

Enthusiastic Skiers and Riders: Come Get Your First Taste of Paradise!


Get your snow gear! Mother Nature is right on time for us to open the 2009/2010 ski and snowboard season tomorrow. We can't wait to see you tomorrow as we open Paradise Bowl and the Greenway Chair at 4pm. Operating hours will be from 9am to 10pm following opening day.

Until further notice, skiers and riders can access downhill terrain for the cost of General Admission.

Expect more runs to open as snow conditions deepen, and we can all look forward to welcoming multitudes of snow enthusiasts as we work hard towards another robust season.

Two Great Big Announcements!

Grouse Mountain Passholders: Bring a Guest to Ski or Ride for FREE this Friday!
Also, Grouse Mountain extends the downhill season!

As a gesture of our appreciation for another fantastic winter season, Grouse Mountain invites all current Y2Play Snow Passholders and Full Season Snow Passholders to bring a guest to ski or ride for free on Friday, April 3rd, 2009.

With nearly 500 cm of snow atop our downhill terrain, this is an excllent opportunity to showcase your favourite mountain to friends or family.

Grouse Mountain has consistently had the best downhill offering in British Columbia all season and relishes the opportunity to keep winter alive for a while longer. To that end, we are pleased to announce that we are extending our downhill operation until April 26th, nearly two weeks longer than any other North Shore mountain. Please see the schedule of operations below for specific details.

For all the rest of you, if you know a Grouse Mountain winter season passholder - and chances are you do - now is a good time to give her/him a call!

With Y2Play in its final stretch for another year, this is another good reason in a long list of good reasons to buy or renew your Y2Play Pass if you haven't done so already. Once they're gone, there's no bringing them back!

Passholder Free Guest Stipulations:
• Grouse Mountain winter passholders must accompany their guest to the Ticket Centre and present a valid season pass.
• Tickets are non-transferable and valid for April 3rd, 2009 only.
• There is a limit of one guest per passholder.
• This offer applies to: valid Y2Play and Full Winter passes only.
• This is a one-for-one promotion, meaning that even a valid child’s season pass is entitled to a free lift ticket for one guest, irrespective of age.

Schedule of Operations for the Remainder of the Season:
Until April 13, 2009 (inclusive): 9:00am to 10:00pm (weekends from 8:30am)
April 14th to April 26th (inclusive): Monday to Friday: 3:00pm to 10:00pm, Saturdays & Sundays: 9:00am to 4:30pm

Winter Season Starts Saturday!

Grouse Mountain's 82nd winter season starts tomorrow at 8:30 am! Skiers and riders will get their first taste of Paradise.

Come experience Vancouver's newest high-speed quad chair, The Greenway, servicing Paradise Park for the season launch. This week's cool overnight temperatures and frequent snowfall combined with our ongoing snowmaking efforts to make this opening possible.

Stay tuned throughout the weekend and next week for updates on further terrain.

BYOP - Designers Wanted!

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.
