      Ah, spring is in the air! With the arrival of beautiful weather, Vancouverites seek new and exciting ways to celebrate the return of long sunny days. We West Coasters love our great outdoors and all of the activities that come with it, whether they’re for fun or fitness. After all, when you live in such a beautiful place it only makes sense to enjoy it on a daily basis!

      The team at Grouse Mountain knows you love outdoor pursuits. With Grouse Mountain being just 20 minutes from  downtown Vancouver (assuming some cooperative bridge traffic) and easily accessible by transit, it’s close by, too! An Annual Local’s Pass makes visiting Grouse Mountain all year long a budget-friendly way to enjoy everything the Peak of Vancouver has to offer.

      So with that in mind, we present to you, in no particular order, with a  “top 10 reasons” why an Annual Local’s Pass will take your life to new heights while getting you outside all year long to enjoy the activities you love.

      10) You can bring friends: With an Annual Local’s Pass, you can bring a buddy or two and receive 50 percent off Alpine Experience tickets. Because a day outdoors is better spent with a pal. (Up to 2 guests per visit. Does not include Download tickets.) 

      9) Winter fun: When the temperature drops, hitting the snowshoe trails or doing a few turns on the mountaintop ice skating pond are two fun activities that won’t break the bank with an Annual Local’s Pass. Which leads us to… 

      8) Freebies and discounted rentals: With an Annual Local’s Pass, you’ll get access to our mountaintop winter fun and what’s more, you’ll receive one free snowshoe rental, one free skate rental, and one free ski/snowboard rental to get the fun started (must have valid lift ticket). After you’ve used your freebies, you’re entitled to a 20 percent discount on subsequent rentals

      7) Zip! Ever whizzed down a zipline at 80 kilometres an hour? Or seen a 360-degree view of Vancouver from a bird’s-eye view? With an Annual Local’s Pass you’ll receive a 20 percent discount off Mountain Ziplines and Eye of the Wind tours—these are one-of-a-kind experiences you won’t find anywhere else. 

      6) Downward dog: Get limber as timber with mountaintop yoga weekends throughout the summer. Led by YYoga expert instructors and with complimentary mats available for the sessions, you’ll take salutations and poses to the next level.

      5) Gear up and save with an Annual Local’s Pass! After you’ve completed another sweaty Grouse Grind, reward yourself with that new workout wear you’ve been eyeing from Outfitters or Essentials since passholders receive 20 percent off retail merchandise at both locations in addition to The Spirit Gallery. 

      4) Satisfy your sweet tooth at the Grouse Mountain Starbucks as an Annual Local’s Passholder, since you receive 20 percent off every time you show your membership. If a beverage or something savoury is what you fancy, we’ve got that covered, too. 

      3) Access to amazing events such as Seek the Peak and SHOES.com Grouse Grind Challenge just got cheaper with an Annual Local’s Pass since you’ll receive a 20 percent discount off your registration fee. We guarantee you won’t find more fun (or feel more accomplished) than after you’ve successfully completed one of our events. 

      2) Summer activities just got even better with an Annual Local’s Pass! Yup, that’s right. Summer might not officially arrive until June 21, but the sunny season activities you know and love launch on the May long weekend. Lumberjack shows, Birds in Motion demonstrations, visits with our grizzly bears, our 18-hole disc golf tours, and our Summer of Flight (coming soon!) are just a few of the fun reasons you can call in sick to work this summer. But you didn’t hear that from us. 

      1) Daily Grouse Grinds are totally doable, if Mother Nature’s stairmaster is your outdoor gym (and for that we commend you). As an Annual Local’s Passholder, you’ll save big as you enjoy daily access to the Mountain during Grouse Grind season. Don’t forget to take a photo while you’re up there and tag it #earnyourview on Instagram…because it’s all about that view, right?
