Grouse Mountain reopened after Skyride shutdown [Video]

Grouse Mountain reopened Tuesday, not quite 48 hours after the Skyride lift was turned off for unscheduled maintenance.

A brief message on the attraction’s website Tuesday afternoon indicated that the Skyride, chalet facilities and mountaintop activities had resumed. The lift was listed as operating from 12:45 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the day, and most other open activities showed start times in the afternoon.

The mountain had remained closed to start the day, as crews performed maintenance work on the Skyride – which was turned off Sunday, leaving some hikers stranded for hours.

While hikers were welcome on the Grouse Grind during the closure, they were warned that they would have to make their own way down the mountain using the BCMC trail.

The Grouse chalet was also closed, meaning there was no food or water available at the summit.
