Grouse Mountain to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for 2021-22 season

Grouse Mountain has announced it will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for the 2021-22 season.

This will apply to all guests and employees, Grouse Mountain Resorts said in a release.

Beginning on opening day, anyone born in 2009 or earlier must provide proof of vaccination to access the resort, including the Skyride, mountaintop facilities and activities.

This includes hikers who use the Grouse Grind trail and want to access any mountaintop facilities and take the Skyride down.

The resort said all passholders will be able to provide their vaccine verification once and will not have to provide it every day.
