About this photo: It's been pretty cold the last month and we have been blasted by serious winter weather, which we don't have very often. I live about 15km from downtown Vancouver in one of the suburbs and at a higher location, so we have been getting lots of snow. We must have about 2 feet (50-60cm) on the ground. I was finally able to get out of my back alley a few days ago, so I have been taking advantage of it as the weather was beautiful. Very cold (-2C during the day...yes that's very cold for Vancouver) but it has been sunny.
Yesterday I decided to go to Grouse Mountain as I have a pass for a year to go up with the gondola. The views were amazing and as I am walking around I am in awe of what all these skiers and snowboarders get to see when enjoying their favourite sports up here. Wow, the view of the city down below is just amazing as you can see in this photo.

Some information about Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver: Grouse Mountain is both a resort and an attraction as well as a popular North Vancouver year-round mountain playground. There’s no better view of Vancouver’s North Shore and the city of Vancouver than the one you’ll see from the famous Grouse Mountain Skyride, an aerial tram that takes visitors up the mountain 365 days a year.
The mountaintop adventure begins as you get off the Skyride where you arrive at the Peak Chalet. You’ll find a variety of dining and shopping options, as well as the Theatre in the Sky. Grouse Mountain has an exceptional collection of award-winning dining high above the city. The Observatory is the crown jewel of the resort’s restaurant collection.
Summertime on Grouse Mountain is great time for going on hikes, watching a lumberjack show, visiting the grizzly bear habitat, enjoy a helicopter tour, zipling, paragliding, watching a Birds of Prey demonstration and so much more. You can enjoy movies at the Theatre in the Sky about the history of Grouse Mountain and the bears. Winter on Grouse Mountain includes great skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and ice-skating. This is a year round destination and has something for everybody to enjoy and it's only located about 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
