Grouse Mountain Snowshoe Fondue

Comments 251 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The snow made its way from the mountain tops to the streets of Vancouver this past weekend, reminding us that spring has not yet sprung in the Lower Mainland. While many are getting out and about to enjoy the bounty of winter that’s been dumped upon us while it lasts, it can still be enjoyed on the North Shore long after the salt, sand, and plows have cleared it off Vancouver streets.

    3. Vedran DjordjevicMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:20pm PST

      Best thing about snow in Vancouver is that is stays in the mountains (where it belongs) most of the time.

    4. RachelMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:20pm PST

    5. CliffMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:22pm PST

      I’d love to check out Grouse’s snowshoeing – especially for a fondue! I’ve only been to Cypress & Seymour so far.

    8. SandraMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:23pm PST

    10. KatMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:24pm PST

      The best thing about the snow is that it makes everything sparkle, especially on our beautiful local mountains.

    11. ScottMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:25pm PST

    12. JanetMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:25pm PST

    15. missczarMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:29pm PST

      I love how the snow quiets the city and makes for some awesome scenery!

    16. David GrimmettMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:29pm PST

      Would Love this! Have thought about doing this before and never gotten around to it!!

    17. NickyMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:30pm PST

      Would love this! Love how pretty snow makes everything look.

    18. SarahMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:32pm PST

      My favourite thing about snow is the way it looks and how silent the city feels on a snowy night.

      I went snowshoeing for the first time last week and it was so much fun, I’d love to do it again!

    19. WhitneyMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:33pm PST

      Snow = Snowboarding! 🙂 Preferably in some fresh powder!!!

    20. AlexMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:33pm PST

      Love snowboarding, especially after work to blow off some steam.

    21. TrevorMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:34pm PST

      It’s perfect for making snowmen and snow angels!

    22. TriciaMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:36pm PST

      the way it sparkles in little fluffs when there’s snowfall on a sunny day!

    23. George HMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:37pm PST

      In my opinion, snow covered conifers are the most beautiful thing created by nature. I’ve been curious why they are not better reflected in Canadian art. But I was in Bannf last week, were it was both snowy and very cold and it occurred to me that the drier, colder snow they get elsewhere in Canada doesn’t cling to the boughs of conifers the same way it does on our more moist coast. So I’m feeling even more grateful about the beauty our snow covered local mountains have to offer.

    24. TashaMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:40pm PST

      Snow = snowmen, skiing, snowshoeing, snowball fights, snow angels , facewashes, booters, and building forts!!! All awesome!

    25. DavidMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:43pm PST

      Snow makes taking pictures a pleasure, especially when there’s snow-covered trees on a sunny day.

    26. LauraMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:47pm PST

      It makes the world seem quiet for a short time.

    30. Tyrell MaraMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 3:56pm PST

    52. Christine McDonaldMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 5:31pm PST

      The sound of skis swooshing on snow whilst sitting on a chair lift enjoying the vast vistas of snowy mountains

    53. JasMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 5:39pm PST

      Nothing better than a snow fight with fresh snow!

    54. MichelleMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 5:46pm PST

    87. ShawnnaMonday, February 28th, 2011 — 10:35pm PST

      My favourite part of winter in Vancouver is that I can ‘drive’ to the snow, and not have to shovel it each day! 🙂 ..like home in the maritimes

    101. LindsayTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 5:49am PST

      I have been toying with the idea of joining the grouse snowshoe camps or this one with the snowshoeing and fondue…

      Being from northern bc, I love the snow….but only the light fluffy snow that we just had, none of this slush stuff. It’s nice to just go to the mountain and get it 🙂

    102. DavidTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 7:45am PST

      I love the fresh snow on Grouse.It has allowed me to share the skiing experience with thousands of people who now love the snow on Grouse!

    106. TraceyTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 10:02am PST

      The thing I love most about the snow is watching it fall. Huge moist flakes dropping slowly to the earth below is magic. A vivid childhood memory of mine is laying on my back in a snow bank below a street lamp looking up at the sky. I was watching and waiting as the flakes slowly fluttered down in a miracle of orange reflected from the lamp. When they came close, I would lazily stretch my tongue for my precious prize. I’ve always loved to watch the snow.

    107. David DarlingTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 10:09am PST

      Love sledding but would love to try snowshoeing!

    110. CFTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 10:25am PST

      Love it – Cold evening, quiet streets, walking through fresh snow to get home and bundle up with hot chocolate.

    111. JessicaTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 10:49am PST

      My favourite thing about the snow is how it gently tucks the world into a calming silence. Everything is so quiet and still when the snow is falling. It’s beautiful.

    112. LilyTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 11:15am PST

      Making snow angels! 🙂

    116. MeghanTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 12:24pm PST

      My absolute favourite thing about the snow is waking up to the silence that a world blanketed in snow creates. Nothing like a snowy morning in Vancouver.

    117. CeciTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 12:26pm PST

      Favorite thing about snow is being able to make snow angels!

    118. FrankTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 12:46pm PST

    125. LisaBTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 4:01pm PST

      I’ll be honest – my favorite thing about the snow is watching it fall prettily from indoors while I read a good book. I should probably strap on some snowshoes and go out and enjoy it more. 🙂

    126. PeterKTuesday, March 1st, 2011 — 4:01pm PST

    160. WinnieWednesday, March 2nd, 2011 — 2:13pm PST

      It sounds like a good exercise routine.

    177. XingThursday, March 3rd, 2011 — 10:36am PST

      You can ski on snow.

    178. JenniferThursday, March 3rd, 2011 — 11:23am PST

      I love that snow in Vancouver stays around just long enough for some great photos and playtime, but not long enough to cause major issues as in other parts of the country. This is another reason why Vancouver and our snow is awesome! 🙂

    179. MariaThursday, March 3rd, 2011 — 11:46am PST

      Never tried snowshoeing before. This is a perfect opportunity. Thanks.

      Everything looks a little more beautiful with a coating of snow on it.

    188. KimThursday, March 3rd, 2011 — 8:02pm PST

      snow is magical–it looks likes beautiful falling down, and once it blankets its surroundings, it looks so serene. i’m always in awe when i see it and can’t help but take a moment to be thankful.

    189. Heather BFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 9:23am PST

      Extra moisture for our forests before the summer sun brings forest fire season.

    193. AlanFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 2:10pm PST

      falling face first in fresh powder!

    194. AnaFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 2:53pm PST

      I used to live in Montreal and I got the chance to see plenty of snow fall and I must admit that it was become one of my favorite things. What I like the most about snow is how it changes the pace of my life, how while it falls at night I run to the kitchen to make some lindt hot chocolate and glue myself to the window. The day after everything is perfectly quiet and white, it feels like living on a fairy tail.

    195. Jenny L.Friday, March 4th, 2011 — 3:05pm PST

      Snow is so beautiful!

      Snow is fun to play in!: You can snowboard on it; throw it; make a snowman; or even taste it as it falls out of the sky…

    200. timFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 3:29pm PST

      Favourite thing about the snow is how bright everything looks at night and how beautiful it is looking outside your window the morning after fresh snowfall on all the trees and roof tops.

    201. Michelle WilliamsonFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 4:44pm PST

      Snow angels!

    205. RebeccaFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 6:42pm PST

      The best thing about snow is that it makes the world a quieter place for just a little while.

    206. LisaFriday, March 4th, 2011 — 8:51pm PST

      Snow is the most precious natures gift to mankind. The first snow of the season changes every thing, brings smile, sets mood, create joy and the feeling is so amazing. I must confess that we are blessed.

    211. LindaSaturday, March 5th, 2011 — 12:45am PST

    212. Katie CSaturday, March 5th, 2011 — 1:54am PST

    230. LeonoraMonday, March 7th, 2011 — 9:25am PST

      My favourite thing about the snow is the way it makes the world quieter, covered with a clean blanket of sparkling white, slows the world down, turns the outdoors into one big playground.

    231. RafeMonday, March 7th, 2011 — 9:31am PST

      The crump-crump sound as you walk over a fresh heavy downfall

    232. Jo WelchMonday, March 7th, 2011 — 9:31am PST

      Would love the opportunity to snowshoe over the city. We have being heading east from the Valley to do our snowshoeing – so give us a chance and a reason to get there. The Mountains are awesome and we are so lucky to be in such a super location.

    243. JenniferMonday, March 7th, 2011 — 11:03am PST

      Who could pass up an opportunity to play in the snow with a beautiful view of Vancouver and end it with a yummy fondue? Not I, bring it on!

    244. MicheleMonday, March 7th, 2011 — 11:32am PST
