Grouse official warns of slippery conditions as popular hiking trail opens

The Grouse Grind opens on Saturday, which is three weeks earlier than last year, but you might want to watch your step.

Sara Lusk with Grouse Mountain Resort explains the conditions might be a bit slippery near the trail’s summit.

“Mainly that has to do with high temperatures and sunshine we’ve had over the past little while, which has helped melt the snow a lot faster than last year. We do still have a fair amount of snow as you get to the top with high elevations. At the top of Grouse we still have some snow. It’s melting, so people need to be aware of that.”

The first download skyride goes at 7:30 am on Saturday.
