grouse has officially been titled the lower mainlands shittiest mountain by the georgia straight. not only that theyr park is gonna suck this year for 10th straight year in a row. thats even longer than cypress!!

why dont we all recognize grouse mountains accomplishment and never go there again.

i was working up there the night they decided that bears and wolves would probably get along. they put the bears in the wolf area and the bear just rolled up and one punched a wolf. apparently it took its head off in one swipe

The earliest Grouse is closing is May 1st, and the latest is May long weekend because that's when their Winter Insurance runs out. So yeah, beginning of May.

But if this rain keeps up I wouldn't be surprised if they called it quits a bit earlier, today was miserable.

Oh yeah they could easily keep runs open well into June, but unfortunately for us, Grouse makes about 70% of it's profit from the summer season. Since March, the vast majority of people going up Grouse are pass-holders, not ticket buyers.

I may be wrong about Grouse's winter insurance ending the May long weekend, but I'm fairly certain they'll do what they can to get their summer preparations underway. With that being said, 6 meters of snow is 6 meters of snow, and I wouldn't want to have to move all of it.

i'd almost be down to buy a $100 summer pass from may long weekend until the snow melts, not that they'd ever do it..

Yeah, they're already servicing the red skyride for summer operations. Speaking to the tram operator today, he seemed under the impression that it would be open till early May too.

Yeah, it's quite annoying to open 5 tabs/have music going, and then start hearing a video play, and not know which page it's coming from.
