Summary:

Here in North Vancouver, a new lift access bike park is finally opening. Grouse Mountain has been an amazing local ski resort, servicing the locals of North Vancouver for years and now they are ready to open their bike park. On June 9th, the bike park will be open to the public. Built by the world renowned builders at Gravity Logic, the trails are sure to be world class with features for every skill level. "The trails at Grouse Bike Park cater to riders of all skill levels" says the president of Grouse Mountain Resort. Tickets are already on sale and are sure to sell out quickly with every mountain biker on the North Shore eager to get onto the new lift accessible trails.


Thoughts:

This news is absolutely incredible, for me and the whole bike community within the Vancouver area. I am so excited to be able to have lift access biking without having to drive all the way to Whistler. This new addition will not only benefit the lives of many, but it will boost tourism and make our city that much better. From the photos I've seen and the people I've talked to, the park is looking spectacular. I've already purchased my season's pass and I suggest anyone with a love for bikes to do the same.
