Grouse Mountain has been welcoming skiers since 1926. Today, visitors still enjoy skiing along with a variety of downhill sports and other winter activities.

Skiing Passes

Grouse Mountain offers a number of ski passes. For those who live nearby and can take advantage of it, the Winter Pass provides unlimited skiing and snowboarding for the entire season. It also garners 50% off day lift tickets as well as other bonuses.

Other pass options include multi-day passes, and one-night passes that let you ski, snowboard, and take advantage of other activities after 4:00 p.m. A weekly version of this night pass is also available.

An All Mountain Pass provides unlimited access to attractions like the Skyride, and Zip-lining, and The Eye of the Wind, year round.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is a winter activity quickly growing in popularity. Grouse Mountain provides clearly-marked beginner and intermediate snowshoe trails that are easy to follow. It’s an excellent way to take in the beauty of nature. For those who want more of a challenge, the Snowshoe Grind will do it.

Terrain Parks

Snowboard riders and skiers of all ability levels can test their skills at Grouse Mountain’s two Terrain Park Zones. Enjoy a variety of jibs, small jumps, and rails.

Ice Skating

Ice skating on Grouse Mountain’s ice-skating pond offers the perfect setting for family fun, or a picture-perfect romantic date. The 8,000 square-foot pond is one-of-a-kind on the West Coast. Guests can rent skates at the Fireside Hut.

Skyride

The Skyride operates year round and offers a chance to take in breathtaking views of Vancouver as passengers journey over towering Douglas firs and snowy peaks. The Peak of Vancouver provides a magnificent photo op, and an opportunity for a romantic dinner at The Observatory.

Sleigh Rides

Grouse Mountain is the place to make some special memories as family and friends journey around the mountain top in a sleigh. What better way to see the snow-covered landscape and have time to visit.

At the end of the ride, everyone can gather for hot chocolate or a steaming cup of coffee in front of the Peak Chalet fireplace.
