Skiing at Grouse Mountain

April 9, 2010

I dug my 80′s rossi’s out of the closet and headed up to Grouse Mountain today. I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed by my old Rossignol’s. I must be one of the few people in Vancouver that doesnt have a new style of skis. When you ski twice a year though, its not really [...]

Lunch on Grouse Mountain

October 4, 2009

Went up to Grouse Mountain to check out the Wind Turbine that is under construction. Apparently it opens in January. Had lunch at Altitudes Bistro on Grouse. Food wasnt exceptional but the weather more then made up for it. I like this kind of October.
