Grouse Mountain is like the cool backyard ski hill for Vancouverites. The ride up the gondola alone is worth the trip, with some awesome views of the city. The skiing here is pretty good, with trails for all skill levels. It's got a fun, energetic vibe, and there's always something happening. The lodge is a great spot to chill and enjoy the view. Plus, they've got some unique attractions like the Eye of the Wind, which is a must-see. It's the perfect spot for a quick ski escape without leaving the city.

If your into park riding, you should go to grouse. They have a great park. And the view is stunning over the city and ocean. There is a cafe and restaurant and lots of things to do, even if you're not skiing. Snowshoeing, ice skating, sliding zone. Very family-friendly. Not the best powder resort, as the snow is mostly heavy and wet there (low altitude, close to the ocean) overall worth a trip, even if you just go there for the stunning view!

Grouse Mountain is a perfect place for a day of skiing if you are visiting Vancouver. It offers amazing city views and ice skating also. The night skiing is particularly fun for the view of the city and not to mention ocean views. Its an easy trek into the city core and plenty of transportation provided.
