Solid resort very close to Vancouver. Pretty small terrain wise but great park skiing. Would not recommend for riders who like exploring and off piste runs as in my experience patrol is quite strict with people staying in bounds.

Grouse is great for accessibility & parking. Outdoor dining is almost nonexistent. Grooming is fair to good. Typical day for me is a couple of hours or it gets boring. Overall nice to have local mountains.

The best thing about Grouse is its proximity to the city, making it highly convenient to get to compared to any of the other mountains in the surrounding area. It is slightly cheaper than Cypress, but I'd say it's not as worth Cypress. For someone who sticks to the groomed slopes the most, the runs get pretty boring and repetitive fast. It's also incredibly loud and crowded there, with lines being quite congested. For just a few dollars more, you're better off at Cypress for way more runs to explore. However, I will say that the UX of booking with Grouse is way better and more intuitive, so that's definitely a plus. Overall, good beginner mountain and easily accessible but would get boring quickly if you only ever went to Grouse.

Grouse has the best park for the north shore mountains. Accommodation is terrible throughout all of North Van. Food at grouse is mediocre and expensive. I would only recommend for the park.

Great little mountain. Ease of access, parking are excellent. Ideal for a few afternoon laps but terrain gets boring after a couple of hours. Best value season pass of the three local mountains. Managing crowds could improve. Very lacking in spring f&b, no outdoor patios, not even a Beaver Tails shack. Natural fireplace in day lodge should be used all winter. Nothing says "I don't care" like an empty fireplace.

Grouse mountain is a really cool fun touristy resort but it's not somewhere I'd pick to go skiing. They have all sorts of activities year round and is definitely a big touristy spot. If you're just visiting the city and you're new to skiing then I'd definitely recommend going to grouse and spending the day. If you're more advanced and like a bit more diversity and more of a back mountain experience, then I'd recommend going to Cypress or going on a trip outside Vancouver to a bigger resort. That being said the times I've been to Grouse were still pretty fun!

The mountain is the best in the three ski resorts in Vancouver. It is a pretty small resort with only for chair lifts and short runs. It does offer most of the terrains you need, and satisfy all types of skier. The terrain park in the best park of it, with all sort of rails, jumps and jibs. Overall its a good mountain for all types of skiers and snowboarders

friendly staff, nice runs, and chairlifts have been relatively quick the times ive gone. only complaint is that runs can get pretty icy, especially the cut

Really enjoyed skiing at grouse, all round good time!
The snow school team are very friendly and knowledgeable, able to provide advice for almost any level of rider.
The cafe, lupins, is reasonably priced and nice food. Alpines is the best option for a nice big dinner after a long day, whereas the observatory is a little pricey.
Great time all round.
