Yea if you're buying grouse buy right now.  You won't get these prices again in the season.

peter piper picked a poopy pepper out of his butt.


Skiing is fun at both Grouse and Seymour. I'm just  stoked on how legit both mountains have been this season

Everyone knows seymour has better terrain. For park I like seymour, they have 4 parks on 3 different lifts so you can always find a fast lap whereas grouse has 1 big park on 1 chair.

Seymour is also sponserd my nike and monster now so they get brand new rails and jibs every month.

Grouse's park this year is really, really awesome. There's a huge selection of rails that rival blackcomb and maybe even whistler 's parks and a separate jump line of 4 25+ foot jumps. The only drawback is that there are sometimes gnarly lines on the cut, but for night/weekday skiing the lines are usually pretty manageable.

In this case buy a grouse pass you won't be disappointed, it's the only one where you can get by public bus. But this means more people on the weekends.

Thats impossible....the drive up seymour is longer than the tram ride up grouse. Obviously this depends on which mountain u are closer to. Both have really sick parks, but i think at grouse u will find more skiers . Id buy a y2play now.

it depends on what your looking for.

Park laps seymour.
powder days forsure cypress. high speed lifts and tons of terrain.
Grouse (never been) but easy to get to if you dont have a ride and you can take public transit.

i wouldnt necessarily mix the words "seymour" and "fast lap" in the same sentence. both mountains have good terrain, you gotta hike for most of seymours though. grouse has a pretty dedicated park crew that weld fresh rails often enough.

seymour is sick, and for the vibe i like it more, but skiing wise seymour and grouse have been pretty equal this season.

Theres a shuttle that goes up every couple hours and you can just get a season pass with it.
