Once complete, the Mountain Coaster will take riders up to 45 km/h down a vertical descent of 919 metres
One of the North Shore’s leading destinations for alpine recreation is adding a number of new attractions for guests visiting in the warmer months of the year.
The resort says the new attractions are part of a $9-million investment, and will both open in spring 2025, after the launch of its new $35-million gondola this coming winter. “For guests who don’t ski or snowboard at Grouse Mountain, it is a side of the resort, and Vancouver, that they’ve likely never seen before,” resort president Michael Cameron said in the statement. "The design of the coaster has allowed us to maintain the integrity of the mountain by incorporating the trees as well as fun features along the journey of the track.”
“Guests will enjoy speeds of up to 45 kilometres an hour on the track which includes a vertical descent of 919 m, a 91-m vertical drop, and an ascent of 515 m which returns them to the mountaintop without having to exit the cart,” reads the statement.
