I never said Grouse is World Class skiing but I'm sure someone from Tokyo is going to jump all over the " Vancouver has world class sushi" comment Life on the internets.


The fact that you can ski black diamond runs or decide to go sailing within 15 minutes of a downtown core is pretty unique in urban living.

For my needs, Grouse is perfect when you're trying to do something for everyone in the family. Certainly a tourist trap but it works for me to make it home on time for junior's nap time without spending 2 hours each way to get my snowboard fix like at Stevens or certainly Baker.
