We do strive for accuracy and fairness, but sometimes mistakes do get made. Another company wanted to build a funicular railway for a private resort on the mountain, though that venture never materialized.
By the s, a toll road was built to the top via the slope of what is now the mountain's primary ski run, the "Cut", to access the lodge. The area at the bottom of the "Cut"—one of Vancouver's most well-known ski runs—is the original base of the mountain, where the area's first lodge and rope tow were built.
The base became known as the "Village" to local skiers, since numerous cabins were built in the trees surrounding the lodge and the base of the old Cut chairlift. Some of these cabins still exist and they are located below and to the west of the old Cut chairlift. The gravel road that was built to access the base, the Old Grouse Mountain Highway, still exists and is currently only used for maintaining the ski area.
In , the mountain's first double chairlift was constructed, allowing skiing down the Cut from the top of the ridge. Grouse Mountain claims this lift to have been the world's first double chairlift, however, it was actually the second chairlift in Vancouver after the "Hollyburn" at Cypress Bowl and the third in Canada after Red Mountain Resort; the first chair in the world was at Sun Valley in Two years later, in , another a longer lift, running from a bus stop on Skyline Drive, at the bottom of the mountain, was opened, known as the Village Chair.
This two seater chairlift included wooden towers some of these towers and the lift line cable wheels are still visible on a hike following the Village Chair's lift line. Each of the chairs were, for a time, equipped with a metal roof to keep skiers dry on rainy or snowy days during the ride up to the base of the old Cut Chair lift.
After a fire destroyed the original lodge in the winter of , the two original lifts were removed in the s. The government of British Columbia, seeing the possibilities for tourism, provided funding and permits for a new lodge to be built on the ridge, as well as an aerial tramway travelling to the mountaintop from the valley below. The tramway, known as the Blue Tram, was built by Austrian steel company Voestalpine and was opened and inaugurated on December 15, , by Premier W.
Ten years later, the mountain was purchased from its original owners by the McLaughlin family in The new ownership provided additional funding for the construction of a second aerial tramway, built by Garaventa, known as the Red Tram or Super Skyride, that same year. The Super Skyride, using much larger tram cars holding just under passengers, is now the main tram, arriving at a separate top terminal building a short walk from the lodge.
The older Blue Tram is now mainly used to transport supplies directly to the lodge structure. The new ski area featured the Peak and Blueberry Chairs, which were both built in the s and early s, while the additional Inferno Chair was constructed in With only partial ownership of the mountain, the McLaughlin family obtained full ownership in and proceeded to construct Canada's first high-definition theatre, dubbed the Theatre in the Sky, in by expanding the present-day lodge.
Use caution when anywhere near mountain creeks. A geotechnical assessment is underway to determine damage and needed repairs.
