Winter Tips

+SKYRIDE

The Skyride will be operating at regular capacity. Proof of vaccination and face masks are required to board. At this time, we are not moving ahead with a reservation system this season.

+VACCINATION REQUIREMENT

Starting on opening day of the ski and snowboard season, Grouse Mountain is requiring all guests and staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the 2021/22 winter season.

+FACE MASKS

Properly fitted face masks covering the nose and mouth are required to be worn in all indoor public spaces, as well as when queuing, loading and riding the Skyride at Grouse Mountain.
If our face covering policy is not adhered to, your pass may be revoked.
Guests are asked to bring their own face mask to wear.

+SAFETY & RISK AWARENESS

Skiing, snowboarding and other activities that take place at ski areas involve the risk of injury.
We strongly advise guests review our health and safety protocols prior to visiting the Resort.

+WINTER PASS PICKUP

If you have not yet picked up your new winter pass, we recommend visiting Guest Services on weekday mornings. Please expect up to a 30-minute wait to speak with a representative.
If you plan to visit Guest Services during evenings and weekends, please expect up to an hour or more wait to speak with a representative.

+RENTALS

It is strongly recommended that all ski and snowboard rentals be booked online in advance. There is a surcharge for booking rentals on-site.
Skate rentals do not need to be booked in advance and are available from Alpine Guest Services located on the main level of the Chalet.
Snowshoe rentals are available from The Outpost rental building and do not need to be booked in advance.

+BAGS & STORAGE

Please be aware that we are not offering bag check at the Resort for the 2021/22 winter season.

We recommend only bringing essential items with you to the Mountain and be prepared to carry them with you while at the Resort.

We have very limited lockers available and they are only suitable for storing small items. Ski or snowboard bags, boots and other equipment do not fit in lockers. Locker rentals are $2.

+FOOD & BEVERAGE

Please note: Starting on opening day of the ski and snowboard season, Grouse Mountain is requiring all guests and staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the 2021/22 winter season. Guests born in 2009 or earlier must provide proof of vaccination with their BC Vaccine Card (with QR code) and valid government photo ID to access the Resort, including the Skyride and mountaintop facilities such as our food and beverage outlets.
Eating and drinking are not permitted in the Skyride terminals or while on board the Skyride. Indoor eating and drinking is only permitted in the Chalet while seated in a designated food and beverage area. Designated areas do not include the main entryway (atrium) of the Chalet.
Some capacity restrictions still apply to our indoor dining areas, but there are additional tables available outside in front of the Chalet.
