The Itinerary

Three ski resorts in Vancouver's backyard: Cypress Mountain (West Vancouver, 2010 Olympic host), Grouse Mountain (North Vancouver, gondola + captive bears) and Mount Seymour (the quietest).

Grouse Mountain is 15 min from downtown, with its Skyride (gondola) and the Grouse Grind (extreme trail, "Mother Nature's Stairmaster"). Cypress offers the best Vancouver views. Seymour is the family favourite. Summer: hiking, MTB, eagle viewing and zipline.
