Blue Grouse gondola

15 towers, 27 gondola cabins, 5.5 minute trip time

now open!

Grouse Mountain's new state-of-the-art gondola officially opened on December 12, 2024.

The gondola features a total of 15 towers and 27 eight-person gondola cabins, and a trip time of 5.5 minutes, allowing the new lift to operate at an initial capacity of 1,000 people per hour on a continuous loop. 

Since the world’s first double chairlift was built at the Resort in 1949, Grouse Mountain has had a rich history of investing in modern recreational technology. The installation of a new gondola will support continued investment in the world-class experience Grouse Mountain offers and ensure Vancouver’s number one natural attraction is accessible for generations to come.

forest management plan

As part of our commitment to sustainable environmental management, Grouse Mountain Resort is developing a forest management plan for the privately held areas of the Mountain. This long-term visionary plan will identify unique features of the forested areas of the Mountain and any regions that have been or are vulnerable to both abiotic (e.g. climate change) and biotic (insects and disease) disturbances. Opportunities for restoration and/or improvement to biodiversity will be identified with the creation of a stable, resilient long-lived forest community. Benefits of the supported forest community include resistance to pests and diseases, low fire risk, as well as the protection of the integrity of the steep slopes and water courses that feed into the District of North Vancouver.
