Vancouver BC enjoys easy access to some of the best downhill and cross-country ski facilities in North America. Grouse Mountain is the closest mountain to downtown Vancouver, being only 20 minutes away.

​

You can be sailing below, then take the iconic Grouse Mountain Super Skyride from the base (North America’s largest aerial tramway), which whisks you 3,700 feet above sea level.

​

Just two hours north are the internationally renowned ski mountains Whistler and Blackcomb. Being a top ranked destination ski resort it draws skiers from all over the world and rewards them with its long runs, spectacular scenery and a mild winter climate.
