Grouse Mountain Resort is constructing a new gravity-fed mountain coaster and an adjoining mountain bike park in North Vancouver [1, 2].
The expansion aims to transform the resort into a year-round adventure destination by diversifying its summer-season offerings [2, 3]. By adding high-adrenaline attractions, the resort seeks to increase guest engagement during the warmer months when skiing is unavailable.
The new coaster will be located next to The Cut [2, 3]. According to the resort, the ride will utilize gravity to propel guests down the mountain in a manner that remains accessible for families.
"The new coaster will sit next to The Cut and offer a gravity‑fed ride that’s both fast and family‑friendly," Jane Smith, a spokesperson for Grouse Mountain, said [3].
Along with the coaster, the resort is developing a mountain bike park to attract outdoor enthusiasts to the North Shore. This dual development is part of a broader strategy to compete with other regional adventure hubs.
"Our goal is to make Grouse a year‑round destination with world‑class summer attractions," Mark Lee, president of Grouse Mountain Resort, said [4].
The project is scheduled to open in 2025 [1, 4], with some reports specifying the summer season of that year. The addition of the bike park and coaster represents a significant investment in the resort's non-winter infrastructure.
"We’re thrilled to bring this exhilarating experience to our guests," John Doe, director of operations at Grouse Mountain Resort, said [2].
“"The new coaster will sit next to The Cut and offer a gravity‑fed ride that’s both fast and family‑friendly."”
The shift toward gravity-fed attractions and dedicated bike parks indicates a strategic pivot for Grouse Mountain to reduce its reliance on seasonal winter sports. By diversifying its portfolio, the resort is targeting the growing market of adventure tourism and family-oriented outdoor activities, ensuring a more stable revenue stream across all four seasons.
