Grouse Mountain is 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, and just up the mountain from the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Grouse Mountain features a tram ride, a lumberjack show, birds in motions demonstrations, scenic chair rides, helicopter tours, a refuge for endangered wildlife, ranger talks and eco walks, plus fabulous views of Vancouver, several dining facilities and of course, souvenir shops. The zip line is a new attraction on Grouse Mountain.

Below: OH NO!!! When getting out of the carving, the snow caved in under Karen Duquette and she found herself deep in a snow hole. Lee Duquette tried to help Karen get up, but she was laughing so hard that she just could not get back on her feet.

Lee tries to help Karen up
Below: Since Karen Duquette could not get up, she decided to slide down the snow bank on her butt, laughing all the way down. Then Lee Duquette was able to help her up. All the bystanders were laughing up a storm. Karen was later recognized by a few strangers who commented on how funny her little episode was. What a way to gain fame!!!!
