Grouse Mountain



The three ski areas in North Vancouver - Mt Seymour, Cypress Mountain and Grouse Mountain apparently all agreed weeks ago that they would finish the ski season on April 15th. Since that decision there has been further snow falls, leading to a snow pack on Grouse Mountain of nearly five meters.

When we got back to Vancouver after the Spring Break, Paula and Kerrie went up Grouse, Kerrie decided to take a Snow-limousine tour of the mountain and
talked Paula into going with her.

The kids then did the snow-limo tour the next weekend as an introduction to skis and to the runs on Grouse Mountain. They did a 30 minute tour which cost C$50 each. The guys that took the kids took them on an extra run because they had gone down the runs faster than anyone they had taken in the previous 3 weeks. They said it was great fun.
