Grouse Mountain to Require Proof of Vaccination for 2021/22 Winter Season
Guests and staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to access the Resort
October 18, 2021
Grouse Mountain is requiring all guests to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the 2021/22 winter season. Effective Saturday, November 20, guests born in 2009 or earlier must provide proof of vaccination to access the Resort, including the Skyride, mountaintop facilities and activities. All Grouse Mountain employees are also required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the winter season.
“Throughout the pandemic, Grouse Mountain has exceeded provincial health requirements to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests and team members,” said Michael Cameron, President of Grouse Mountain Resort. “We believe implementing this policy over the winter season will provide the strongest protection against COVID-19 to those who visit and work at the Mountain.”
Grouse Mountain is introducing the VaxTrax Program, a one-time vaccine verification process for all passholders. The program allows verified passholders and multi-day Snow School participants access to the Resort without having to provide proof of vaccination each visit. These guests can choose to submit a copy of their BC Vaccine Card and a copy of valid government photo ID (for guests aged 19 or older) digitally or visit Guest Services at Grouse Mountain to present the required documentation in-person before November 15, 2021.
After the November 15 deadline, there are two ways for passholders to participate: Passholders can submit a copy of their BC Vaccine Card (with QR code) and a copy of valid government photo ID (for guests aged 19 or older) by emailing vaxtrax@grousemountain.com at least 72 hours before visiting Grouse Mountain to be verified.
Passholders can show their BC Vaccine Card (with QR code) and a copy of valid government photo ID (for guests aged 19 or older) on-site prior to boarding the Skyride. Please note, passholders should expect lineups unless they have been verified through the VaxTrax Program prior to their visit.
Individual ticketholders born in 2009 or earlier, such as those with Single-Day Lift or Mountain Admission tickets, will be required to show proof of vaccination on-site prior to boarding the Skyride.
In addition to requiring proof of vaccination, face masks will continue to be mandatory for access to all indoor facilities and the Skyride for the 2021/22 winter season. For more information, please review our Grouse Mountain Safety Protocols for the 2021/22 Winter Season.
