Grouse Mountain's skiing may not be even close to that of Whistler's, but in both winter and summer it still proves a great spot to visit. The view across Vancouver is beautiful, and the sunsets are amazing. It has several restaurants in it's chalet, ranging from the 5-star Observatory, to the more casual Altitudes Bistro, to Lupins Cafeteria. In the summer the mountain has shows, hiking, scenic chairlifts, zip-lining, paragliding, and the Grizzly Bear habitat, Winter hosts an ice skating pond, skiing, snow shoeing, and Christmas events. And of course, all seasons will have the great views.
