Tips for Skiing at Grouse Mountain

Night skiing is a must! It’s more affordable than daytime skiing, less crowded, and offers breathtaking views of Vancouver. Plus, in late March, you can still catch some daylight before sunset.
Extensive night skiing options: Unlike some resorts, Grouse keeps over half its terrain open after dark, including popular runs like Centennial, The Cut, Heaven’s Sake, and Peak.
Dining at The Observatory: Want to experience the mountain without skiing? Book a table at The Observatory restaurant, and enjoy a complimentary Skyride tram ride to the top.
Grab a Y2Play Pass early! Available each spring, this pass gives you access for the rest of the season and the entire next season—perfect for families and young skiers.
Bring a friend at a discount: If someone in your group has an annual pass, up to two guests can receive 50% off their Skyride tram fare (excludes ski tickets).
