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.

Been skiing here for years. It's a great local ski mountain that's close to my home. Seasons passes are absolutely worth the money. Great ski school for everyone. Can get very crowded on weekends but weekday skiing is awesome. Food is expensive with not so many healthy choices so bring something.

The view of Vancouver can't be beat. Back runs are fantastic black runs. Very crowded on the weekend. Food is over priced. Great family mountain and very affordable early seasons passes.

Can be very busy during school holidays/weekends, but night skiing most evenings (especially weeknights) can be great. Lap after lap with great city views.

Grouse is one of a few local mountains to ski really close to Vancouver. It's convenient to get to and on a snow day, the conditions are pretty good.

This mountain offers great views of downtown vancouver, day and especially night time! It is more often than not clear.
Food is expensive but very good.
Dont come here if you love tree runs, youll probably get more of those at cypress.

Small resort with great views and beautiful sunsets. Grouse is in a great location only 30 minutes from Vancouver city centre, night skiing makes for a lovely evening activity after work. Not always got the best snow but once it all opens up its got enough runs and terrain for all levels of riders. Excellent terrain parks with all kinds of features.

Best view in the area.
Not a large variety of runs to choose from, can get repetitive quickly.
Gondola to access resort can sometimes have issues and low capacity means having to wait to even get up, or sometimes down.
No big reason to return for me.

For a mountain that is a bus ride away from a main city, this place is great! You start from the bottom and by the time you get to the top, your suddenly in the alpine and surrounded by snow. If you love groomers they have plenty to go around, from very chill greens to steeper blacks. The park ends up being sick because there is a tow bar, which is honestly amazing for park progression. If you don't want to go for the hard stuff just yet, they have other smaller parks as well to practice on first. They also have night skiing which is a plus.

I love skiing at Grouse Mountain! Its so close to Vancouver (1h drive) that its easy to go for a day trip or weekend. The views are stunning and the ski lift is pretty efficient. Only downside is the difficulty level of their easiest run. Their easiest run has some very steep parts and Ive seen quite a few people lose control.

Grouse Mountain is a very beautiful place because of the easy access from the city, but because it is so close to the sea it is difficult to get good snow. When there is a lot of snow, it has many black runs that are fun and it has a park to learn tricks and jumps that is very good. I hope this year there will be good snow, since last year and so far this season have been bad.

This resort is pretty small with limited runs open early in the season. Still, the resort is nicely maintained, has some great runs and staff are very friendly. Amazing views of Vancouver from some of the runs, pretty unique ski resort in that aspect.

Its definitely a top mountain to snowboard and ski on however aside from those activities its also great for family activities like snowshoeing and site seeing. Compared to the other mountains in the area its great, however if you are in the area and want to enjoy purely skiing and snowboarding cypress it the better option.
