another great little mountain with all mod cons

great terrain and the park is very well kept, its maybee a bit anal but then with all the olympic stuff going on theyre on a mission, here youll find all the rich kids, helmets are mandatory in the park - even the novice park but then thats becoming more and more present wherever you go - worth a day out though not as much fun as the other 2
Small but Good

Don't come expecting huge alpine bowls or steep chutes. If you want those, you have to drive about 2 hours farther along the sea to sky highway. But for a mountain just 15 minutes outside of Vancouver, it has enough runs - from green to black - for a quick fix. It's easily the best of the 3 North Shore mountains. The WSG review is a bit outdated, because they've since added 2 new high speed quad chairs. Plus the new chairs and facilities for the 2010 Winter Olympics will start construction next summer in 2005. Worth checking out for a day trip for $42 CAD.

Summary
Mid-week, with new snow, can be a good for a day's riding. Not much fun on weekends and for long periods. If you're looking for park; go to Grouse or Seymour nearby. Night riding and the beginner slope are its main pluses.
ON THE SLOPES Local and small, but some good snow days
OFF THE SLOPES Vancouver is just 30 mins away
MONEY WISE Day pass is good value if you use it for night riding as well. It would be a good place to learn before going to a destination resort... Whistler anyone?
