TL;DR
Grouse Mountain, Vancouver's most accessible ski resort, has unveiled its new Blue Grouse Gondola, revolutionizing mountain access with 27 eight-person cabins. The modern Leitner-Poma system cuts journey times to just 5.5 minutes, offering spectacular Vancouver skyline views while significantly reducing wait times for skiers and riders.

Getting to the slopes at Grouse Mountain just got a major upgrade. Previously, skiers and riders relied on two trams to access the mountain's terrain, with the same trams required for descent since there's no skiable route to the base. The two-cabin system created bottlenecks and long wait times - but that's now changing.
On December 12th, Grouse Mountain celebrated the launch of their new Blue Grouse Gondola with a grand opening ceremony. The event featured a ribbon cutting, live DJ entertainment, complimentary hot beverages, and a fireworks display.
“The addition of the gondola has allowed us to explore a whole mountain of opportunities not previously available with just the Red Super Skyride. It’s an exciting time for Grouse and we’re so happy to be sharing these new amenities with our community“ said Michael Cameron, who’s the President of Grouse Mountain.
