NIGHT RUNS

From early morning until
almost midnight, skiers take
advantage of this major ski
area overlooking downtown
Vancouver and the Gulf of

looks down on the sparkling
lights of the city, 1 100 metres

The ‘Top. of Grouse’
complex also provides the
Lounge, the Loft disco, the
Grouse Nest Dining Room,
plus babysitting and the usual
