If conditions allow, it will be open on Saturdays and Sundays and on Thanksgiving Day, Oct. 11.

The closure of the Grind coincides with the annual fall maintenance closure at the Grouse Mountain Resort that runs from Oct. 18 to Nov. 5.

During that time, there will be no access to the Grouse Mountain Skyride or mountain-top facilities. During the temporary closure of the Skyride, trail users will be required to hike down the BCMC trail. Hiking down the Grouse Grind trail is not permitted.
